Canada filed an appeal of the September 29th, 2021 Federal Court decision to uphold the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal's order on compensation, 2019 CHRT 39. Canada also requested an abeyance from the Federal Court and asks for scheduled Case Management Conferencing to negotiate with the parties. 

The Caring Society issues a statement expressing disappointment with the appeal. The Caring Society also consented to Canada’s request to pause the appeal for a very short period of time to allow for focused and intense negotiations to try and reach an agreement to end the Federal Government’s discrimination and prevent its recurrence in the provision of child and family services and Jordan’s Principle.
