Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to welcome our panellists.

Mr. Cowan and Mr. Wright, Statistics Canada recently announced it will begin to collect data on the race of victims of crime and people accused of crime. However, it appears it will not include data related to the use of force in the incident or on mental health checks unless they involve a criminal offence. What do you think of this development?

I'll begin with Mr. Cowan, please.
