REGINA — The head of the organization that represents Saskatchewan First Nations says he appreciates that the province wants to apologize to victims of the ’60s Scoop, but says there must be compensation too. Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations said survivors are adamant there should be financial compensation from the province and suggests that Saskatchewan pay out $400 million, or at least $200 million. “It’s fine to have an apology, but we need substance,” Cameron told The Canadian Press Thursday. “I don’t think an apology is any less sincere just because there’s not cash that comes along with it,” Wall said. Shortly after Manitoba’s apology, Wall said one would be forthcoming from Saskatchewan.
