Kanishka victims’ Xmas gift

Toronto: Canada is set to disburse an ex-gratia payment to the Air India Kanishka victims before Christmas.
Though the Canadian immigration minister, Mr Jason Kenney, and the public safety minister, Mr Vic Toews, in their meeting with families of the victims last week had cited the precedence of up to $25,000 as exgratia payment in such cases, sources said on Thursday that the unspecified amount to be paid would not disappoint the families. The families of each victim were paid upward of $75,000 in a settlement in 1991.
