Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty says her government has filed a partial judicial review of a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal decision for a child welfare agreement she struck with First Nations in Ontario.
That $8.5-billion agreement marked a step toward resolving a dispute that began in 2007, with the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal later ruling the federal government discriminated against First Nations children in its funding of on-reserve child welfare services.
