Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Justice committee You're right. It is a difficult thing to do because, when the police are coming into contact with a person who could have been intoxicated by both alcohol and drugs, they will be reporting by the substance they think is impacting the impairedness of the driving of the individual

Justice committee In the survey, we don't ask. This is based on administrative data. We look at the date of the initiation of each case in front of the tribunals. We don't have detailed information about the reasons why it took so long. We only know that it takes that long. It takes 245 days. Half

Justice committee This is very hard to say. We always observe a trend in crime in general with smaller being in the east of the country going toward the western provinces and also going north. This is a general trend we observe. The only difference here is that drug-impaired driving on slide 15 is

Justice committee Once again, this is based on administrative data, and we don't have any reasons to provide with this. It could be related to many factors, such as police forces enforcing these things less than before or police practices. But if I can contrast some other results, cannabis consump

Justice committee That's a very good question. I would caution about making a conclusion about this, because there are also a number of cases that will no longer appear in front of courts. Cannabis-related cases will no longer go in the courts, so we don't know what the net effect is going to be

Canadian Heritage committee Very good. Thank you, Madame Chair. Good afternoon, everyone. First, let me thank the committee members for inviting me to present the most recent data on hate crimes reported by Canadians and by Canadian police services. The most recent statistics we have are police-reported

Yvan Clermont
Canadian Heritage committee Yes, we did. We also compared it with non-hate crime to see if there was a comparison or differences. For most reasons that are brought forward or proposed to the respondents when they are being asked, the distribution is about the same for hate crimes and non-hate crimes. The t

Canadian Heritage committee I'm going to give a brief summary of this, and I would invite my colleague, Madam Kong, to supply more information about that. I believe that, with time and with all the mechanisms in place with the police forces in order to report through the uniform crime report.... The standa

Canadian Heritage committee I would say—in addition to what Madam Kong said in answering Mr. Sweet's question—that the uniform crime report collects only data about what has been recognized as a crime. This is not the right vehicle to measure fear or to measure hate if the hate is not a crime, per se. There
