If the Supreme Court has acknowledged that marginalized and racialized people face racism and systemic discrimination in the criminal justice system, would consulting with both of your organizations not have been essential if the government's intent was to attempt to prevent marginalized and racialized Canadians from facing that racism and systemic discrimination?
I'm confounded that we're at this stage, five weeks to go in a Parliament, when you have these vital amendments to a piece of legislation. The people who historically have been hurt by the criminal justice system—indigenous people, marginalized people and black Canadians—will now have a pardon system that will in effect not help them because of the circumstances in which they live.
Is this the bill that we're facing right now?
I'll start with you, Mr. Cudjoe, and then I'll turn to Ms. Finestone with a more particular question.
