$875M SCOOP SETTLEMENT APPROVED

    SASKATOON — A federal judge has approved a multi-million-dollar settlement for Indigenous people who were taken from their families and placed in non-Indigenous foster homes in the so-called '60s Scoop.
   Justice Michel Shore made the ruling in Saskatoon after two days of hearings in which survivors spoke for and against the proposal.
    The settlement includes $750 million for the survivors, $50 million for an Indigenous healing foundation and $75 million for legal fees.
   Last October, the federal government said the proposed settlement was for about 20,000 survivors who were moved between 1951 and 1991.
