๐The Manitoba government has reached a landmark agreement to settle three class-action lawsuits totaling $530 million over child welfare benefit payments. The proposed settlement, subject to court approval, aims to compensate approximately 30,000 children, including adults affected between 2005 and 2019. Lead plaintiff Elsie Flette denounced the province's actions as "theft," as it clawed back federal funds intended for children's welfare. The dispute highlights systemic issues, particularly affecting Indigenous children, with the funds intended for recreation, cultural activities, and more. The settlement, which follows legal battles and governmental changes, signals a step toward reconciliation and correcting past injustices.โ . ๐๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ก๐, ๐๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ. ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐ (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฃ@๐ญ๐ก๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐.๐๐จ๐ฆ @manojkaratha_realtor . . #ManitobaSettlement #ClassActionLawsuits #ChildWelfare #Reconciliation #IndigenousChildren #LegalJustice #GovernmentAccountability #ChildBenefit #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
