Canada agreed to "forever discharge" Catholic entities from their promise to raise $25 million for residential school survivors and also picked up their legal bill, a final release document shows.
Indigenous leaders and legal experts have long questioned why Ottawa opted to give up an appeal of a court decision that meant Catholic entities didn't have to pay their remaining financial obligations under the historic Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement. There was a disagreement between Ottawa and the Catholic entities about one part of their obligations.
By Oct. 30, 2015, a final agreement was signed by the former deputy minister in what had been called Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Canada, freeing the Catholic entities of their financial obligations. Miller has, in at least one media interview, expressed openness to the idea of reviewing the government's 2015 decision.
"Should discussions around the order result in a release that is limited to three financial obligations, Canada will not pursue the appeal," reads a document dated September 2015. It included an illegible signature from a former minister in Stephen Harper's Conservative government, which at the time was in the middle of a federal election campaign.The document noted releasing them from some of their non-financial obligations "could pose significant risk for Canada.
So now the Canadian Tax payers can stop paying too. There is zero reason for us to pay for one of the riches entities world over
THE HARPER CONS DID IT
holy mother of god you suck say it with me Stephen Harper Stephen Harper Stephen Harper was responsible for this atrocity
Click bait.
Pathetic misleading picture! Nothing but a gossip rag. Thank god I’ve known that since you got bought out
CP24 is an apartheid collaborator news channel embedded in the heart of the largest Canadian city. A gaslighting channel
Harper let the Catholic Church off the hook, of course he did. He isn’t an IDU Christo Fascist for nothing.

Deal was by the Harper Conservatives. Stop spreading lies.
No pictures of Harper era politico’s who actually did the deed? Let me guess, you’re only following orders.
And mainstream media wonder why the public is losing trust...
ironic background for previous con gov't 'building trust, seeking justice'. misleading article implicating miller and liberals.
CP24 fast becoming Canada’s equivalent of Fox News This article is misleading … the deal was made by the Harper government. Shouldn’t his picture be shown instead?
It was Stephen Harper!! Who is forbidding you from saying so Is it the guy who fired Lisa LaFlamme at CTV?
Why doesn't your headline reveal the TRUTH that the Stephen Harper Government made this deal? And why are you using Mark Miller's image instead of Stephen Harper's? I won't read your article because of this headline.
Wrong photo. Fixed it.
Thanks Harper
Lazy reporting.
By the Harper government. Quit trying to imply it was a Trudeau government 'deal' CdnMediaFailed cdnpoli NeverVoteConservative DontForgetTheBodyBags
“Miller said it belong to Bernard Valcourt, Harper's former minister of aboriginal affairs.” This sentence was written by a Neanderthal.
Released by HARPER.
YOU know fully well that it was the Harper government that signed the deal. Why are you purposely using the photo of a current minister since when the truth is not important to CP24. Because of this, I will not be using you for anything; you're removed from my feed.
BellMediaPR can't get much right these days. Just another propaganda arm of the CPC.
poster child for CdnMediaFailed
This is misleading. The deal was signed in 2015. That’s the HarperGovernment. The picture is wrong. Fix it! This is a lie and if it’s on purpose you should be sued. It’s a lie. Shame on you you’re a disgrace.
Why in the hell are you posting a pic of Miller when it was Harper who made this deal?!?!” Have you any journalistic integrity at all?
I reported this tweet for misleading information. CdnMediaFailed
'Canada' did not agree to discharge the Catholic entities, Harper agreed to this!!!
Hey! This was a Harper Government deal. Please say so and don't imply otherwise.
Stephen Harper deal freeing Catholic entities from $25M campaign for residential schools released.
Is the media going to even ask Mr Poilevre about this? He was a Cabinet Minister in this government that made this deal. Who am I kidding, they won't!maybe a few questions and the media will give him a pass like they have been doing all along.
A dirty and underhanded deal made by stephenharper on his way out. It’s disgusting.
Harper CdnMediaFailed
Harper did it
Church should start paying land taxes then!
2015.....looks thru notes...this guy was in office.
Really misleading/dishonest headline and photo.
“Deal from Canadian conservative Government freeing Catholic entities from $25 M campaign for residential schools released.”
Heyyyyyy, this was the pic you wanted for tour article, Harpo signed the deal
Wondering why the public doesn’t trust media anymore...
Instead of just lazily sharing this story, maybe u can help readers: Lib Minister Marc Miller uses FOI to confirm PM Steven Harper gov agreement to cancel Catholic Church reparation pay to Indig ppl abused by Catholic Church. CdnMediaFailed CdnMediaFails DoBetter cdnpoli
Harper did that, not Miller 😡
Whose deal? Trudeau’s or Harper’s?
Was it Stephen Harper's doing?
Done by Harper!
Et tu cp24 This was done years ago by the CPC_HQ under that tool Harper . 🙄 get your damn reporting right.
Do better..it was harper...shame on you
Just another example of the many 'news' sources who ran this story with a big pic of our current Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Marc Miller who had NOTHING to do with the agreement as the pic and title suggest. It wasn't 'Canada' who signed, it was, The Harper Government.
Lest we forget: 'Canada's Aboriginals need to learn the value of hard work more than they need compensation for abuse suffered in Residential Schools.' -Pierre Poilievre, Conservative MP and Parliamentary Secretary; June, 2008
The deal was completed by the incoming Catholic PM. Get your facts straight
The Twitter character limit is 280, including spaces. There's more than enough room to specify this 'deal' with the Catholic church was signed by Stephen Harper. Do better.
No photos of The Harper Government of Canada in the arsenal?
why are you using a photo of someone who is unrelated to this deal?
This was done by HARPER...funny how that is missing from your headline
The Crown is the Vatican/Catholic Church. That's who our politicians serve.
Why are you showing Marc Millar when it was Conservative Stephen Harper who signed the deal? Does CP24 not want to be taken as a serious news source?
Conservative 24 says what.
Why do you post Marc Miller’s photo? It was Stephen Harper who dealt this dirt in 2015.
Fixed it for you Deal freeing Catholic entities from $25M campaign for residential schools released. stephenharper
Harpers Government signed this, why put a picture of Marc Miller with that caption. Media failure

Why is Marc Miller pictured here, when it was Stephen Harper that signed yet another deal in secret? sloppy cdnmedia
The Catholic Church is evil incorporated.
Wrong face. CdnMediaFailed as usual
If only not lying was a commandment in their faith.
Can we please tax these bloodsuckers already. At least that way they'll raise the money promised.
This is bs. The Catholic Church is equally as culpable. It was their racism and doctrine that drove decision makers to persecute First Nations people
You know the system is run by pedos when the worlds largest pedo ring gets a pass as usual.
Abra Kadabra. Debt gone.
Just in time for Thanksgiving….a lot of chiefs making their next pay check. Where is the independent audit the AFN discussed? I want to know where my taxes from my 60 hour work week went
Is there a listing of all the 'Catholic entities'? Cdn Conference of Catholic Bishops is NEITHER a registered charitable or not-for-profit with CanRevAgency . Group has no assets or is a business-for-profit. In organized crime $$ always flow uphill. To the Vatican Pontifex
