WINNIPEG – A residential schools lawyer is distancing himself from a form-filling company after a judge ruled they are illegal.
Ken Carroll of Winnipeg says he’s cut ties with the company – First Nations Residential School Solutions – and given up his financial stake in the firm.
“I have worked with a form filler organization and the original concept proposed by them involved my owning a 25 per cent interest in that company. But that interest was abandoned very early in my involvement in the process as soon as I recognized problems with the concept which was over a year before we engaged in our first hearing and about 18 months before the incidents being reported upon,” Carroll said in a two-page statement sent to APTN Investigates.
Carroll says he divested himself well before Justice Perry Schulman’s strongly worded decision of June 4, in response to a request-for-direction from the Indian Residential Schools Adjudication Secretariat.
