Those who qualify for the settlement will receive at least $40,000, with some receiving more, as the government has agreed to pay interest on the payments. “Complete justice will be achieved when systemic racial discrimination no longer exists. The compensation in this case is only one component,” the decision reads.
“The tribunal, assisted meaningfully by the parties, has always focused on the need for a complete reform, the elimination of the systemic racial discrimination found and the need to prevent similar practices from arising. This continues to be the tribunal’s focus.”
