That's another very important question.
As far as statistics, figures, data and evidence go, Mr. Lametti and I, as well as our provincial and territorial counterparts and partners all agree. We need all the available data to develop policies and new administrative tools aimed at addressing systemic issues like the overrepresentation of certain populations, indigenous and racialized individuals in particular. We need to start by examining what they experience. For decades, they have been overrepresented in the justice system.
Data and other types of evidence will help us develop a better approach, one that will reduce barriers.
