Sorry, I would like to add something. I just finished a report on Legal Aid and the Law Society's relationship with it. We went through a long consultation with academics, with various institutions, and what Professor Bala says was proven out. Both at the federal and provincial levels, the statistics are really not there, which is causing a real problem when you want to try to do evidence-based policy-making and try to get academics engaged in areas so they can move the dial from a social perspective.
There's something called the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, running out of Sunnybrook Hospital, which has all the OHIP data in the province of Ontario. It was seeded by the Province of Ontario, and basically runs with some funding. It is probably the number one epidemiological institute in the world at the moment. It's done by maintaining, housing, and scrubbing data, and then they get the data out to the universities. We have nothing comparable in the legal world, and it's a real problem.
When I met with the people at ICES—it's a terrible acronym, but they were there before the other ISIS—the Institute for Clinical and Evaluative Sciences, I asked them about it and they said they had one study. The study was about people with major head trauma who had been incarcerated. The incarceration data didn't come from the justice sector, it came from Correctional Service Canada. They found a correlation between someone having a major head trauma and a significant—I can't tell you the percentage—likelihood of their being incarcerated. That's social data I would have thought we would want to have, and yet the justice sector doesn't actually contribute a great deal to that discussion.
I just echo Professor Bala's comments.
