From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, Canada established residential schools to assimilate Indian students into Canadian culture. Many of these students suffered abuse and racism, leading Canada's federal government to provide a Common Experience Payment (CEP) as restitution. The CEP is non-taxable and does not affect other government benefits.
