Wonder how much the Vatican will end up covering.

So?

What's the cost of one life? How about the lives of 966+ children? How about genocide (literal and cultural) on Canadian soil? Can you put a dollar amount on those atrocities? Even if it surpasses $1B, it will never make up for government annihilation programs.

Only a twelfth the cost of an unnecessary pipeline..

So what?!? If these were non-indigenous children price wouldn’t even matter you racist pricks. BringOurChildrenHome

How do we have money for this? Someone needs to investigate the tribal wars the Indians are still having today. Oh? You do that because there is no money in that.

This is disgusting YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED at this headline!

No problem - liberals waste that much daily

So what?

I don't care if it costs $10 billion! What the hell is the matter with you G&M? And make the billionaires pay.

Putting aside $10b to deal with this matter over the next five years is probably appropriate in my opinion.

Oh well, if that is what it takes.

Send the bill to the churches who ran them.

Waste of taxpayer money

privatize it ! I can bet it will cost way less than billion ! I

Terrible headline to pair with such tragedy.

You might a well pay it. They’ll never stop crying till they do.

I know someone who could pay for this, and their name rhymes with the schmatholic schmurch

I sure hope the Roman Catholic Church is going to pick up the costs as they were the culprits that buried those poor children without identifying them or their burial places. Why should the Canadian taxpayer foot the bill when the church is responsible - and they have the money!

If that's what it costs, so be it.

The Globe and Mail had to close comments on the story about the cost to find residential school graves. I wonder why and what that says about Canada.

Didn't the cathedral in France get over a billion in rebuild donations within 24hrs a few years back? The church has the money. They should foot this bill.

You do realize what this implies is that there are many, many places to search and potentially many, many graves to locate.

the cost is nothing compared to the pain & suffering that the government caused

Worth every penny

$ 10^9 / (37 x 10^6) Canadian Population = $ 0.027 x 10^3 / Canadian Person = $ 27 / Canadian Person on average. Just think about it, from this simple arithmetic, which can be easily prorated to those who are able to pay more and those struggling to afford a meal out for two.

Vatican $$$

The Catholic Church needs to pay part of what ever it costs. This isn’t only a government problem.

Let's recoup this by taxing the churches responsible

Just an awful headline. Making the story about the cost to taxpayers. Shameful.

What else is new? They're all basically just buried 'out back', try startinh there.

Cost is minor compared to the pain the Government and Churches have caused

We are a stupid country.
