Description
This correspondence took place within the broader context of the 2014 contention by the Corporation of Catholic Entities Party to the Indian Residential School Settlement (CCEPIRSS) that it had reached a new settlement agreement with Canada regarding Indian Residential Schools. CCEPIRSS asserted it had come to the agreement during negotiations over Canada’s 2013 Request for Direction (RFD #1), in which Canada questioned CCEPIRSS’ deduction of its legal fees from its financial payments under the original Settlement Agreement (2006). When Canada disagreed with CCEPIRSS’ assertion that a new agreement had been reached, CCEPIRSS filed its own Request for Directions (RFD #2). The hearing for CCEPIRSS’ Request for Directions, dated November 18, 2014, occurred on June 3, 2015. On June 8, 2015 Wayne Schafer, counsel for the Attorney General of Canada, submitted a post-hearing submission. On June 9, 2015 James S. Ehmann, counsel for CCEPIRSS, sent a letter to the Honourable Mr. Justice Gabrielson waiving any objections to the post-hearing submissions and with comments in reply.

This compilation of documents comprises: one letter from James S. Ehmann to Brian Gover with the request that the letter is brought to the attention of the Honourable Mr. Justice Gabrielson; one email from Brian Gover to Justice Gabrielson sharing the letter; and one chart that was a part of a post-hearing submission by Wayne Schafer dated June 8, 2015.
