Perhaps you'll let me comment on this.
I think personally that if I were asked to pick only one performance indicator on whether the actions of the Government of Canada were improving the situation of aboriginal people in Canada, I would take the incarceration rate. Let me tell you that in social sciences, it's very rare that you have an actual linear relationship between time and a particular event.
Thirty years ago, 10% of the federal inmate population were aboriginal. Twenty years ago, it moved up to 15%. Ten years ago it was 20%; and now we're at 25%. If the government can actually stop or, even better, reverse that trend, it will mean that it has made some gains in other areas, such as social, economic, cultural, and political rights, and that you will have seen better employment, better education, better health care, better self-determination. I think this is where the government should focus its attention, so as to see that whatever it's doing, more of the same will not reverse the trend.
My prediction is that it will be at 30% soon.
