Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us, particularly Ms. Samuels-Wortley.
Ms. Samuels-Wortley, you are currently working on a study that is exploring how perceptions and experiences of racial discrimination from peace officers can contribute to victimization and delinquency among young Black and Indigenous people, and how it contributes to their feeling oppressed and marginalized in society. Our present study does not deal with young people at all. We often focus on indigenous women, and rightly so, but young people are often are also the target.
I am the Bloc Québécois' critic on youth matters, hence my interest in this. Could you provide some more detail about the way in which perceptions of injustice can can lead to victimization or procriminal values among young people from the Black and Indigenous communities?
