Residential school survivors frustrated

The head of the Residential Schools Commission says some survivors are frustrated because they can't get papers needed to back up their claim. Justice Murray Sinclair says its because many government and church documents may have been destroyed. The deadline was Monday for the so-called common experience payment which recognizes the impact of living at a residential school. Sinclair says those who didn't file by the deadline are out of luck.
