One of the things it started to do is to look at issues related to Gladue. It looked at issues related to sentencing and what other influences and demands for services we could identify, such as issues related to bail. One of the challenges we have is that clients get into the system and then they accelerate and come back again and again. How do we stop that treadmill of charges in the system?
I think it's not just a federal issue. I think it's an issue for all levels of government to consider what we can do in the area of improving access to justice for clients who are marginalized. There are mental health issues as well, and an overrepresentation in the system of clients who have mental illness. Those are areas that I think the federal government and the provincial government should be looking at. If we can address these issues and keep people out of the criminal justice system, it does, I think, benefit everyone.
