The federal government says it's earmarking $40 billion to compensate Indigenous children who were needlessly taken away from their families and communities.

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller made the announcement Monday, the day before the government planned to release a fiscal update where the money will be set aside.

The amount includes money Ottawa was ordered to pay by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal â€” but this is not a formal settlement.

Mike Le Couteur explains why, and has the reaction from Indigenous groups.
