Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I do want to thank all the witnesses for being with us this morning—my time.
The government says that one of the purposes of Bill C-5 is to address the problem of systemic racism in the justice system, so I want to extend particular thanks to Chief Arcand for being with us to stress the importance of indigenous voices and hearing indigenous voices in our considerations.
I want to thank you for bringing our attention to the facts about over-incarceration and the very shocking figures that you've cited from your community. Obviously it's an injustice, but could you tell us a bit more about the impacts of over-incarceration in terms of the connections to family, connections to community and connections to culture that result from this over-incarceration?
