I have about two minutes left, and I want to ask both you and Mr. Morrisseau-Beck, we've heard from Ms. Ongoiba and others, about the disproportionate impact on the black Canadian community, but also on indigenous people, and you're adding South Asians and Middle Eastern LGBTQ to that pool.

If you remove the notion of a violent sexual offender from the charging provisions, what impact will that have on the people you are serving, both at ASAAP, and Mr. Morrisseau-Beck, the indigenous community that you serve at your agency?
