Let me say that, as I mentioned, our Criminal Code of course reflects that element of that legacy in paragraph 718.2(e), the requirement for what's become known as Gladue reports. The word “aboriginal” appears once in the Criminal Code, and it's in that provision that it does. Sentencing judges are compelled to consider the specific circumstances of an aboriginal offender as an alternative to incarceration. So this legacy is reflected even in the Criminal Code of Canada with instructions for sentencing judges.
