The Canadian government may have paid as much as $80 million to people exposed to the herbicide and chemical weapon Agent Orange during U.S. military testing in the 1960s, according to a document from the IJF’s Open By Default database. 

The document, released by Veterans Affairs Canada, reveals the government agreed to issue a one-time payment to 4,000 people who claimed they developed cancers after exposure to the chemical during tests at a New Brunswick military base.
