Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses.
Mr. Carpay, I have a question for you.
I'm looking at a briefing note that we have from the Library of Parliament, prepared by our very capable analysts, which I thank them for. In it, they cite some Statistics Canada information about the degree of confidence that Canadians have in several of our important democratic institutions, one of them being our criminal justice system. Apparently only 48.2% of Canadians have confidence in our criminal justice system, which seems pretty startling to me.
I don't know if you have a comment about that. I know you're legally trained. You talked about the rule of law, equality and race-based policies. You have race-based sentencing, and we have, not to be partisan, what we call catch-and-release bail rules. Now we also have sentencing based on a person's immigration status.
We're talking about civic resilience, keeping in mind that's the purpose of my question.
