I must confess I had no idea there had been a class action suit at all, never mind that it was legally settled in 2018, Trudeau formally apologized in the House of Commons in Nov. 2017:

"The apology comes with $145 million, which includes $110 million for compensation for LGBTQ civil servants whose careers were sidelined or ended because of their sexuality, and $15 million for historical reconciliation, education and memorialization efforts."
