Compensation recommendations for dozens of New Brunswick victims of sexual assaults within the Catholic Church have been delayed to allow time for more victims to come forward.

Former Supreme Court justice Michel Bastarache had been prepared to deliver his recommendations on Monday. The diocese, however, upon the advice of Bastarache, extended the deadline for new application until Dec. 1.

Bastarache has said "between 45 and 47" people were involved in the abuse linked to former parish priest Levi Noel and others.

Noel was sentenced in January to eight years in prison for sexual assaults on young boys between 1958 and 1981.

Of those, though, nine chose not to take part in the compensation process through Bastarache.
