compensation to the Duplessis Orphans, who were physically and mentally
abused in Roman Catholic institutions more than 60 years ago.
The orphans suffered sexual and physical abuse, including electroshock and
lobotomies, in Quebec orphanages run by the Catholic Church in the 1940s and
'50s.
In many cases, orphans were forced to work and kept out of school, even
though school attendance was mandatory in the province.
