Dear Editor:

Lies, lies and more lies. I watched the CBC Newsworld live announcement May 30 regarding settlements to former students of Canada's Indian residential schools and I am hurt and saddened but not surprised. Instead of announcing a settlement package, the government representatives are pursuing yet another study.

A Supreme Court judge will study us yet again for who knows how much money and fuel another year of useless bureaucracy that will cost the same as any settlement would.

I feel like the government is interested in only one thing and that is in continuing the cruelty and abuse of the residential school.
