Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech. We spent some time travelling together, and he truly is an honourable gentleman.
I appreciate a lot of what he is saying today, especially the sentiment behind reducing the number of marginalized and racialized people in our court system. However, there is nothing in the departmental plan, not one single measurable goal, going back four years, actually showing any tangible result or goal of reducing what has happened in the past.
Can the member square the conflict between saying that we want to address this issue while at the same time the departmental goal signed off on by the Minister of Justice does not show a single metric improving over the next several years?
