I believe that for decision-making within the Correctional Service, there are a lot of references to Gladue factors and paying attention to Gladue factors.
As was mentioned earlier to the committee, I think these factors are considered, as they have to be, for every Correctional Service decision that is made for these prisoners. The parole board considers them as well. However, the problem is that we haven't done a good job on how these factors impact the final decision.
For example, we're supposed to be considering the Gladue factors in parole decisions, but I'm not sure that the consideration of these factors is having a direct impact on the decision that is being made.
