Thank you so much, Chair.
Thanks to everybody for being here today.
My question is for you, Minister. As part of the report and findings of justices Harry LaForme and Juanita Westmoreland-Traoré, when tasked with reviewing the conviction review process in this country, they underscored that of the 20 individuals granted reviews and remediation by the Canadian government, all were men. Only one was indigenous, and one was Black.
Given the racist and misogynistic biases of the past conviction review processes administered by the Department of Justice, how will these issues be remedied in the proposed legislation?
