Would the 4 billion to indian residential school victims really buy votes though?

I'm making an assumption here but I doubt the Indian voter turnout is very high.

Also, good or bad this 4 billion dollar payout probably won't gain that many votes for the Liberals among the average voter. I don't have my hand on the pulse of the nation but I'm assuming many people would resent this payment to what amounts to a very small segment of the population. Again I don't know if that is good or bad thing morally but I have a feeling it's the case.
