Canada lifts funding cap for former residential school searches after Indigenous criticism.

The Residential Schools Missing Children Community Support Fund, which provides up to $3 million per year to locate unmarked burial sites and identify children who never returned, had been capped at $500,000. In response to the backlash, the government has lifted the cap and removed planned restrictions on funding.
