Opinion: Lejac survivor still waiting

I went to Lejac Residential School. I have a claim and we waited over three years for an answer. They tell us Lejac is not on the list. They don’t want to give our CEP (Common Experience Payment) money.
Lejac Residential School
The Lejac Residential school operated from 1922 to 1976 by the Roman Catholic Church

Why did they deny us natives our school money?

And we didn’t get enough on our IAP (Independent Assessment Process) money, too.

The government is waiting for all of us to die before they give us our money. We were all raped in Lejac. Why is the government dragging their ass on paying us out?

We need something done on this issue ASAP.

Lots of people have got their school money. What about us?
