The federal government says it's earmarking $40 billion to compensate Indigenous children who were needlessly taken away from their families and communities.
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller made the announcement Monday, the day before the government planned to release a fiscal update where the money will be set aside.
The amount includes money Ottawa was ordered to pay by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal — but this is not a formal settlement.
Mike Le Couteur explains why, and has the reaction from Indigenous groups.
