Thank you for your question, Ms. Dhillon.
It's a historic bill, in my view, one that will really change our approach to non-violent crimes and offences that do not involve a risk to the public or public safety.
It will help us tackle the over-incarceration of Black, racialized and indigenous individuals, by giving judges back discretion over sentencing to ensure that sentences are fair and equitable, and by providing for other types of sentences and rehabilitation.
In British Columbia, we just invested in indigenous-led community justice centres. Indigenous people will have the ability to fully oversee the approach to justice, with a view to reducing recidivism rates and helping communities heal and move forward.
Bill C‑5 does that in part through diversion measures, whereby people are referred to the health and other services they need to address the root causes of their problems. This is very important legislation that I think will shape the future of justice.
