A lawyer says she’s being denied access to documents that would support the abuse claims of former residential school students in northeast Ontario, and she said her clients are losing faith in the justice system.
Faye Brunning represents former students of Ste. Anne’s Residential School in Fort Albany, Ont., and of Bishop Horden Memorial School in Moose Factory, Ont.
She said the government is not playing fair in the latest round of civil claims stemming from the Truth and Reconciliation Commision process.
Brunning said documents from a criminal investigation into residential school abuse from the nineties would corroborate many of her clients’ claims.
But, she said, the federal government refuses to give her access to them.
