Thank you very much.
Now, let's continue the discussion. Earlier, we saw that the public interest test takes indigenous identity into account. I'm going to ask a question so that people who are following our work understand.
If a white person and a first nations person are both arrested with a female lobster, which is illegal under the Fisheries Act, it is possible that a charge could be laid against the white fisher, but when it comes to charging the indigenous fisher, the prosecutor must follow the instructions and consider the identity of the accused and take into consideration the impacts of colonialism, residential schools and systemic discrimination?
Am I correct in saying that, when two individuals commit the same offence, the first nations member might not be charged because of their identity?
