There are two points.
One of the things we know is that there's a huge use of unnecessary bail conditions. One of the most prevalent is the condition that prohibits someone who is an alcoholic from drinking.
As Ms. Deshman said, people will say anything to get out of jail. They're given conditions that don't actually relate to concerns about public safety and are not related to the offence itself but that allow them to continually be picked up and accumulate greater and greater criminal records. As I've said, the data shows—and there's a lot of data—that aboriginal people not only face more and more restrictions, but they are picked up for those restrictions. If we take away the jail option, then that makes a big difference. Ultimately, what I would hope would happen is that people would stop imposing conditions that are foolish.
In terms of the Gladue provision, there is recognition in some but not all provinces that Gladue provisions apply to bail. There is a division in the court in Saskatchewan about its application. It's not clear in Quebec. There has not been a major court case on that in Quebec either. This would clear up that issue. It would be very significant, because do know that in Ontario, where Gladue clearly applies to bail, indigenous people do receive bail because things like prior administration of justice offences are not held against them.
