Absolutely. If I'm understanding the question correctly, you're asking whether having a scrutiny system in place, some sort of mechanism to scrutinize one's claim of being indigenous, would impact the courts.

To my earlier comment, once people identify they will compound that by shopping for a JP with a reputation for releasing people on Gladue considerations.
