Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you again to our witnesses for being here this morning.
In regard to Black overrepresentation, in the recommendations throughout your report you call for various national action plan policy developments and reviews. However, you also note that much of the action already taken by the government to address ongoing issues such as racism, for example, have resulted in little more than “policy exercises that have little direct impact on the lives of incarcerated Black persons.”
How, then, do we reconcile these findings to implement effective change?
