Abuse allegations at Quebec orphanage : Health authority, religious order agree to $65 settlement

Summary

At a catholic orphanage, a lawsuit represented abuse victims for 1925-1996. Victims are seeking the lawsuit because they want to be compensated for their trauma at this institution. The class action is against the religious order and will go to trial in September. To date, there are 600 victims, but the representative of the class action lawsuit expects more victims to come forward.
