That is hard to say. I cannot speculate, Mr. Fortin. From a purely mathematical point of view, it is a bit strange to see that, among the 26 individuals whose review request was granted, just five were racialized persons. Those figures are surprising considering that indigenous persons account for 32% of the prison population and Black inmates account for 9% of the prison population. That means that roughly 40% of prisoners are either indigenous or Black, and are therefore racialized, and yet they account for just five of the 26 cases I mentioned. My last math class might have been in high school, but I would say that these figures do not accurately reflect reality, statistically speaking.
