It's hard to know speculatively, but certainly, based on what's happening in the United States and Australia, we'd say it would at least exacerbate it with the continued prorate at what it is now, but also for African Canadian young people, particularly African Canadian young men. I think you are meeting soon with the African Canadian Legal Clinic. They are certainly much more versed in this than I am, and our organization is, but they have done some important research on how this will impact their communities as well. And I suggest, picking up on the Ontario Commission on Systemic Racism, that we're likely to see increased numbers of racialized African Canadian young people in particular, and young men in particular as well.
