Thank you.
When we were studying indigenous women in corrections at status of women committee, one of the things that came up a number of times was the misuse of Gladue reports in corrections. They are applied for justice for the trial, but when women were getting into prisons, they were being used because these women had faced poverty, substance abuse or trauma. Sometimes they were being used to increase security classifications to say that they needed more time in different areas.
I'm wondering how we ensure, now that it's going to be legislated that you look at them, that those reports are being used in a positive way and not being misused against offenders to make it worse for them in prison.
