There are many statistics. I can try to dig some of them out. I myself try to avoid these mysterious digits and leave most of that work to criminologists and other social scientists. But I know the statistics that have been compiled both by government agencies and by independent academic researchers indicate that the removal of the judges' discretion in sentencing, which by the way is contrary to the principle in 718(e), will likely increase the incarceration rate and make the result particularly difficult in the provinces that have a high proportion of aboriginal people, given our extension of the existing proportional incarceration.
The statistics are very high in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and this applies to aboriginal women in particular. In my recollection, by far the majority of the women in jail are aboriginal women. The percentage of aboriginal people in the Saskatchewan population is roughly 13%, but the incarceration rate is something like 70%.
