Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you all for coming.
One of the things we've been aware of was brought up by a number of people at a town hall I held on the subject of cannabis a couple of weeks ago. This parallels an experience in the United States as well, that a lot of our current drug laws—the criminalization of drugs, including cannabis—have particularly affected groups that are overrepresented already in the justice system and are already subject to poverty and other issues. In Canada, that includes our first nations population.
I put this to everyone here. Do you find our current criminalization strategy is unfairly or overtly targeting indigenous groups? Would you say they are overrepresented among those that are being disadvantaged by this?
Mr. Day, I'll start with you.
