I'll just say one other thing about that. The other way that there's a failure to consider Gladue factors—or the misuse that I think Ms. Finestone was talking about—is in setting the correctional plan itself. If you are assessed as having all these needs and they translate into risks, that means you have to do all these additional things in your correctional plan to be able to get released. We know that indigenous people—and indigenous women in particular—are more unlikely than other prisoners to meet their release date, their eligibility date. That's in part because of a correctional plan that has many elements to it that have to be addressed, due to the way the Gladue factors can actually hurt instead of help.
