The Duplessis Orphans received a maximum of $15,000 each, not $25,000 as the article suggests. The president, lawyer and PR rep for the comittee of victims are believed to have received millions and even the bureaucrats received $1,000 a day for processing the files, highly ironic considering that the victims received a mere $1,000 per year interned in the asylums, on top of the flat rate of $10,000. Other controversy surrounds the issue, as the vote on the settlement was held with a show of hands behind closed doors, the results of which were contested because its leaders stood to gain most from the offer. Premier Landry said twice that he gave $50 million to the orphans, whereas the government only officially gave $25 million, leading to much speculation about the possible missing $25 million. Many are still fighting to reopen the case. I might make some changes to reflect this later. --Megaforcemedia 17:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scientology
I noticed a lot of the remarks regarding the mistreatment of the orphans by Psychiatrists had no citations, at this page is also linked from the Scientology Page. Either get a citation or clear it up, Scientology has harassed Wikipedia enough already. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.69.160.246 (talk) 06:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sex Abuse Links?
I have removed links from the See Also section which implied that this is related to the Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal. If there is cited information added to this article which would establish a connection, they could be restored.(RookZERO 19:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC))
