[...] Mathews to send an email to ISC’s Deputy Minister, Gina Wilson, to advise her of the urgent request and to underline the seriousness of the issues facing children in Pikangikum, including the significant concerns regarding youth suicide and child deaths. [...] St-Aubin’s affidavit, ISC had failed on a second occasion to treat the grandmother and the children in a respectful and compassionate manner, going as far as to ask for a note from the potlatch organizers (which would be the bereaved family) to confirm the grandmother and children’s attendance. [...] True copies of the Appeal Summary Form, the Presentation Form, and the Letter of Decision for the appeal giving rise to the proceedings in T-1889-23 are attached to my affidavit as Exhibits “27-A”, “27-B”, and “27-C”. [...] Taylor advises me, and I believe, that the redactions in the documents related to the proceedings in T-1889-23 are in the original documents filed with the Federal Court, pursuant to a confidentiality order.
