Description

This court file includes a "Request for Direction" (RFD) brought by the Attorney General of Canada (Canada) on December 24, 2013 regarding the implementation of the 2006 Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA) by the Corporation of Catholic Entities Party to the Indian Residential School Settlement (CCEPIRSS). It also includes the "Response by the Corporation to Canada's Request for Directions" dated January 27, 2014.

In the Request, Canada seeks guidance from the Court on interpreting the terms of the Settlement Agreement. Specifically, Canada questions CCEPIRSS’ deduction of its legal fees from its financial payments. The Request includes a summary of the matter, the issues for which direction is sought, and Canada's position. The Response indicates the position of CCEPIRSS, which is in opposition to Canada's.
