I believe that the need to work with men with violent behaviours is urgent. Places where that can be done have to be re-established or established.
Under the current system, if there are complaints and charges, the accused spent time in prison without their problem being treated. However, we in the First Nations have our own ways of reaching a solution, a healing process. It brings about a really radical change among those who go through it.
In the legal system, people go to prison and their problems with violence will never be dealt with. That’s the issue. As well as the legal measures, there should be ways to help people solve their problems, which are all about wielding their power over others. So that is a shortcoming of the legal system in Quebec.
