TORONTO, June 22, 2021 /CNW/ - The Settlement agreed to by Mr. Wenham and the Government of Canada regarding a class proceeding in which Mr. Wenham alleged that the 2015 Thalidomide Survivors Contribution Program was unfair in that it unfairly restricted what evidence an applicant could submit to prove eligibility to that program has been approved by the Court and is now final. The settlement reached is not to be construed as an admission on the part of Canada that the TSCP was unfair.
