APTN – The federal government had “conditioned its consent” and would only certify the claims if the Jordan’s Principle victims from between 1991 and 2007 were removed. Ottawa plans to fight in court against these families because their claims date to before 2007, arguing Canada isn’t legally liable for their suffering because Jordan’s Principle didn’t exist yet, according to court documents.
