Thank you for your question.
As I mentioned in my opening remarks, it's essentially hard to assess hate crime rates. We're really starting to focus more on increasing the capacities of both the RCMP and all police services in the country. We really need to focus our joint efforts on how to report and evaluate the actual numbers.
Awareness campaigns have been introduced to enable our officers and the public to understand what a hate crime is. Then there are the elements that come into play in building the public's trust when it comes to reporting the crimes in question. That remains to be seen.
