You may know that before the Supreme Court of Canada now is a case about the entire classification scheme, which is really fundamental, as Mr. Freeland said, to who gets access to what programs and what security levels from the get-go. We know that in 2003 the Canadian Human Rights Commission found it to be discriminatory on the basis of sex, race, and disability. It disproportionately impacted women, those who are racialized, particularly indigenous prisoners, and those with disabling mental health issues. That was what led to the review by Moira Law, which was abandoned by Corrections.
We still have that process in place, and in fact, a man named Mr. Ewert has taken the Correctional Service of Canada to court. We're waiting for a Supreme Court of Canada decision now. The Elizabeth Fry Societies and the Native Women's Association of Canada, as well as a number of other groups intervened in that court case to draw attention to the fact that we need to fundamentally rethink how we classify people and how they get access to programs.
Most indigenous people, because of all the things that Mr. Freeland has already talked about, are more likely to be classified at a higher security level from the get-go on the basis of factors they can do nothing about. You can't change where you came from or what your family history is. You can't change those things. So you end up with a very narrow band of things that can be changed and that's what gets assessed. Then it's viewed through the eyes or ears or interpretation of people who are not necessarily well-skilled in that area. As we've seen from the most recent Auditor General report, 37% of security levels, even after they're done, are changed upwardly, particularly for women and indigenous women. They're increased. It's as if suddenly some person decides that, although the prisoner actually comes out as minimum security, they should really be medium. The arbitrariness of it is—
