The IAP is the new process to help former students settle their claims for abuse they suffered at Indian residential schools. The IAP replaces the former Alternative Dispute Resolution(ADR) program that was previously used to settle claims. The IAP compensates former students for sexual abuse, serious physical abuse and certain other wrongful acts which caused serious psychological consequences for the individual. This compensation is available in addition to the Common Experience Payment(CEP). 2, record 1, English, - Independent%20Assessment%20Process

Government policy divides claims into two categories: specific and comprehensive.

In 1991, the policy was reviewed to include pre-Confederation claims, and the introduction of “fast-track” claims (where the claim settlement is not expected to exceed $500,000). The following recommendations were made at that time: the establishment of Indian Specific Claims Commission on an interim basis; the creation of a joint Assembly of First Nations (AFN)/Canada working group; and the establishment of a permanent independent claims body. 3, record 4, English, - Indian%20Specific%20Claims%20Commission

Selon la politique du gouvernement fédéral, il existe deux types de revendications : les revendications particulières et les revendications globales. Les revendications particulières découlent de la violation ou de l'inexécution des obligations imposées au gouvernement par des traités, des accords ou des lois. Les revendications globales reposent plutôt sur un titre ancestral non éteint. 2, record 4, French, - Commission%20des%20revendications%20particuli%C3%A8res%20des%20Indiens

En 1991, la politique a été revue afin d'inclure les revendications visant la période précédant la Confédération et de permettre le règlement « rapide » de revendications (dans les cas oú la revendication a une valeur de moins de 500 000 $). Les recommandations suivantes avaient été formulées à cette époque : établissement provisoire d'une Commission des revendications particulières des Indiens; la création d'un groupe de travail mixte de l'Assemblée des Premières nations (APN) et du MAINC; et établissement d'un organe permanent indépendant pour le traitement des revendications. 3, record 4, French, - Commission%20des%20revendications%20particuli%C3%A8res%20des%20Indiens
