Pierre-L. Baribeau was a lawyer and the official representative of the Corporation of Catholic Entities Party to the Indian Residential School Settlement (CCEPIRSS). He was a partner at the firm Lavery Lawyers. Baribeau was involved in the negotiation of the 2006 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement and its subsequent implementation. In 2013, Canada sought clarity on the Catholic Corporation’s implementation of the 2006 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, specifically, CCEPIRSS’ deduction of its legal fees from its financial payments. During the subsequent negotiations, CCEPIRSS came to contend that they had forged a new settlement with Canada. Canada denied this, and the matter went to the courts. In the 2015 court decision case, Fontaine v Saskatchewan (Attorney General), 205 SKQB 220, Baribeau provided an affidavit, which covered his knowledge of the creation and operations of CCEPIRSS and he responded to aspects of the Affidavit of Pamela Stellick. Baribeau was cross-examined by Alexander Gay, counsel for the Attorney General of Canada. Ultimately the court found in favour of CCEPIRSS and the Catholic entities were absolved of any further legal or financial obligations under the 2006 Settlement Agreement. Baribeau was admitted to the bar in Quebec in 1975 and died in 2020 at the age of sixty-nine.
