Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement information
The Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement (IRSSA; French: Convention de règlement relative aux pensionnats indiens, CRRPI[1]) is an agreement between the government of Canada and approximately 86,000 Indigenous peoples in Canada who at some point were enrolled as children in the Canadian Indian residential school system, a system which was in place between 1879 and 1997.[2][3]: 1 The IRSSA recognized the damage inflicted by the residential schools and established a C$1.9-billion compensation package called CEP (Common Experience Payment) for all former IRS students.[4][5] The agreement, announced in 2006, was the largest class action settlement in Canadian history.[3]: 1
As of March 2016, a total of C$1,622,422,106 has been paid to 79,309 former students.[6] An additional C$3.18 billion has been paid out to 31,103 former students as of March 31, 2019, through IAPs (Independent Assessment Process) which are for damages suffered beyond the norm for the IRS.[6] The average IAP payment is $111,265 (including legal costs), and the average CEP payment is $20,457.[6]
