Sure. Thank you so much.
I want to move that Bill S-205, in clause 2, be amended by adding after line 31 on page 2 the following:
(4.1) If the informant or the defendant is Indigenous, the provincial court judge shall consider whether, instead of making an order under subsection (3) or (4), it would be more appropriate to recommend that Indigenous support services, if any are available, be provided.
I think it's something that was long fought for in terms of recognizing the impacts of colonization, the Gladue principles, and principles that were supported in the Ipeelee case.
I am merely ensuring that it's consistent with Canadian law. That's it.
