Government Apology

Letter:

What should take place with the $350 million is to compensate all the victims of the boarding schools days, otherwise DIAND will hire consultants who will eat away at the money and Aboriginal people won't benefit from the funds at all. Very little money will filter into the Aboriginal community.

To me, it would make more sense to compensate each victim, whatever little of money that would be entitled to them. After all, we were the ones that suffered through the boarding school system. Roughly about 100,000 Aboriginal people (children) that went to these schools, I sometimes refer to them as concentration camps . . . with the $350 milion, roughly about $350,000 would go to each victim. Now that would make more sense to me.
