The federal government is poised to settle outstanding Indian residential school claims with a huge one-time payout costing taxpayers roughly $2 billion. Each former student of an Indian residential school will receive a $10,000 "common experience" payout. But it seems the real winner here are the lawyers.
The federal government will pay lawyer fees totaling $80 million. This is one of the highest legal bills Canadian taxpayers have ever paid.
