Summary:

The Attorney General of Canada wants to keep some evidence in the case confidential because it could identify First Nation children and families who are not part of the court process.

The Tribunal asked for more information about some evidence mentioned in another court case. After learning more about the other court case, the Tribunal decided to keep the evidence in its case confidential.

The Tribunal worried people could identify the First Nation children by combining pieces of information to figure out who they are.
