Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First of all, would you be able to tell us the annual number of individuals convicted for the first time of a crime found on the list in part 27 of Bill C-2?
Secondly, do you know the annual number of people convicted for a second time?
Thirdly, do you know the annual number of people convicted for a third time?
If you have access to these figures, could you tell us the percentage of these individuals who belong to visible minorities, or who are members of a first nation, who are women or people with an intellectual or physical handicap? In brief, I am referring to the four groups contained in our charter.
Do you have these numbers? If not, do you know how the committee could obtain them? Up until now, it appears the government has been unable to provide us with this data.
