A $66-million settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit over British Columbia's use of "birth alerts," a practice that disproportionately affected Indigenous women and led to the apprehension of many newborns. The practice allowed social workers to alert hospitals about expectant mothers considered high-risk, often resulting in the removal of their babies. The settlement aims to address the harm caused by this practice.
