Thank you, Madam Chair.

First, I would like to mention that we have two students in the room today, Charnpreet Saini and Alexandra Osman. They are in the women in House program at Brock University. Welcome.

Ms. Ferreira, I would also like to thank you for your presentation today before the committee.

You mentioned that the rate of 12% of indigenous women offenders who request parole is much lower compared to non-indigenous women. Could you please explain why this is?
