Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to go back to Mr. Tachie.
Thank you for sharing the story. I'm sure quite a few members may relate to the circumstances you described.
It reminded me of consultations that I was holding on the practice of carding in Ontario and hearing from 15- and 16-year-old Black boys who were stopped by police. Their school bags were checked and they were carded simply because they were walking home from school late in the afternoon, which we would expect any child to do. What you are sharing with us is real. That kind of racism is real and the impact is quite real as well.
I want to talk a bit about the conditional sentence orders that are part of this bill and your and Ms. Beckles' thoughts on that. What kind of impact could it have on the Black community, racialized communities and indigenous peoples if that discretion is restored within our criminal justice system?
