Thank you, Mr. Chiang.
Yes, the data should be collected. I believe right now in the bill, it's clause 13, the “Annual report”, that provides for data collection, but it is rather light.
To Mr. Sauvé's point, the RCMP has been developing a national approach to the collection, analysis and reporting of race-based data in policing since probably about July 2020, in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and Statistics Canada. That process has been slow, but it is critically important.
The legislation in Alberta lacks in some areas. However, it does require, for a number of street checks or officer contacts or “info posts”, as they're called in Calgary, that exceed the relative statistical demographics of a community, that the chief of police provide a reconciliation and justification to address any overrepresentation of one group, particularly for racialized and indigenous people in the data.
It's important that this data analysis and sharing occur in a distinct fashion at a community level, lest the significance of the data and analysis be diluted to basic ineffectiveness.
