Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
I want to express particular thanks to you, Ms. Reid. As someone who taught criminal justice for 20 years before coming to Parliament, I rarely ever dealt with the issue of children with parents who were incarcerated, except on an individual basis. I think you've done quite useful work in bringing our attention to this question more systematically.
My question is about the characteristics of children. We know that certain groups in our society—marginalized groups, indigenous people, racialized Canadians—are vastly overrepresented in our prison system. I'm assuming, therefore, that the characteristics of children with incarcerated parents reflect that fact. I wonder if you could comment on that.
