What about reparations?

Have you made and paid any?

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/21/canada-indigenous-settlement.html

OTTAWA — Canada said on Saturday that it had agreed to pay 2.8 billion Canadian dollars, about $2 billion, to settle the latest in a series of lawsuits seeking reparations for the harm done to Indigenous people through a system of mandatory residential schools that a national commission called “cultural genocide.”

The new settlement, which must still be approved by a court, resolves a
class action brought in 2012 by 325 First Nations that sought
compensation for the erosion of their cultures and languages.
