Thank you.
My constituents in Hamilton Centre are paying very close attention to the ongoing proceedings as they relate to residential schools and the responsibilities of Crown-Indigenous Relations to indigenous and first nations communities across the country.
I note that Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs is requesting $610 million under vote 1a for the Federal Indian Day Schools Settlement Agreement, which includes compensation for persons who attended a federally established, funded, controlled and operated Indian day school during the period from January 1, 1920, until its closure or transfer from Canada's control.
Mr. Chair, through you, how many people do you expect to be compensated through the Federal Indian Day Schools Settlement Agreement?

Thank you, Matthew. I'm always happy and privileged to be in your virtual company.
I would say that obviously this has been a top concern of my colleagues Minister Bennett and Minister Miller. For the precise link between the estimates process and those investments and actions, let me turn to Glenn Purves, who is most able to answer.

Thank you, Mr. Green.
You wanted to know effectively how many claims have been received and how many....
As of January 27 of this year, over 98,000 claims have been received and more than 48,000 survivors have received payments for individual compensation under the settlement.

Thank you.
As a follow-up to that, what is the deadline, if any, for people to apply for compensation?

We would have to follow up with the department on that one. Unless I can find it somewhere, I don't have that answer.

Thank you very much.
I was delighted to see that the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations included in one of their major items the request for.... Well, I'm not delighted that the request had to be made, but here we are. The money is finally here. It includes compensation for persons who attended federally established, funded, controlled and operated Indian day schools.
It also includes monies that will be used for legal and administration fees. How much money in this supplementary did the government spend on this litigation?

Mr. Green, are we talking about federal Indian day schools in terms of the McLean settlement agreement and not the sixties scoop?

In terms of the total amount, I'm seeing $1.3 billion to the McLean Day Schools Settlement Corporation for individual compensation of $10,000 per class member for harms associated with attendants' level one claims.

That would be $69 million in class counsel for legal fees and disbursements and ongoing legal services to class members.
However, I should point out that it's not clear to me whether or not that is effectively part of the $481 million, or whether that amount is part of the broader envelope that I mentioned.

How much was the contract for Deloitte for the administration of the settlement, and why was Deloitte selected?
We hear a lot about Deloitte at this committee.

I don't have that information, Mr. Green. We can certainly reach out to our colleagues at CIRNAC and get back to the committee on that, if that's helpful.

Okay.
As it relates to the sixties scoop settlement, the request of $260 million in the supplementaries, how many people have made a claim as part of this settlement, and when can they expect to be paid?
