I can assure you that, while the period covered by the audit started in January of 2020, the audit team has been having very many conversations over many months with individuals at Correctional Service Canada. I had several conversations during this audit with the commissioner as well. I did share with her our concern over the findings. We've talked through the recommendations.
You highlighted exactly an item coming out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and many of the recommendations that came out of that report. One of those was actually a change to the corrections act that required that indigenous social history be considered when looking at the security classification of an indigenous offender.
We actually targeted a certain group of files where indigenous offenders had their security classification increased after the initial rating done by the tool. We found that there was no evidence of the indigenous social history being considered in that security classification. We did not see whether or not other alternative restorative options like healing lodges or more time with elders had been considered as a way to reduce the risk for that offender.
We do have a recommendation linked to that because it's a requirement in an act. We included that recommendation not only because of that, but because it's the right thing to do.
