It's interesting, the comment you made about jails and boarding schools. Actually, in the late 1980s, the Canadian Bar Association issued a report called Locking Up Natives in Canada. One of the things they found in that report, looking at Saskatchewan, was that—and all these figures have gotten much worse—aboriginal youth in Saskatchewan are more likely to go to jail than to graduate from high school. The point was made in that report that jails were becoming our contemporary residential schools. That is certainly true today, as we see 22% of inmates in Canada being aboriginals. Those numbers are up. Every year, those numbers go up.
When Gladue was decided, it was at about 19%. So this is a problem that we recognize, and if only looking at a problem made it go away, in this case looking at it and examining it seems to make it get worse. I don't think that's actually true, but people are prepared to look and to ring their hands but not actually do much about it.
I think you're right. The concern is that as we criminalize more and more people, and that's where they think they're going to end up and that's where they end up, they come out and just go right back in.
