"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5152434\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, gentlemen, for being here today. We appreciate it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5152435\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the themes for me as we've gone through this particular study is that there is no disputing the numbers, the disproportionate numbers of indigenous peoples in our systems. My question has always been, \u201cWhy?\u201d We know that there are the restorative justice and alternative justice programs that have, depending on the individual, varying degrees of success. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5152436\" data-originallang=\"en\">I believe that generally the system is working toward improving the care of indigenous peoples who are in custody and then helping them to integrate into the community. I know there are such points there, but my question keeps going back to the issue of the numbers that keep increasing, and it's not always reoffenders. There are so many new ones coming in.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5152437\" data-originallang=\"en\">Therefore, my first question to you, Chief Teegee, in your new role, is where do you want to go with making the difference on the front end with your youth and your communities so that those who might find themselves in conflict with the law work toward improving so that they aren't going to be one of those stats coming forward?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5152438\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. LeClair, I'll ask you the same question. I'm always intrigued to hear your perspectives on what should be done. Sir, you are in a position to do something about that, and I'd really be interested to see how we play that forward.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5152434\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. J'aimerais \u00e9galement remercier les t\u00e9moins d'\u00eatre ici aujourd'hui. Nous vous en sommes reconnaissants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5152435\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'un des th\u00e8mes qui reviennent, selon moi, pendant cette \u00e9tude, c'est qu'on ne peut pas contester les donn\u00e9es, c'est-\u00e0-dire le nombre disproportionn\u00e9 d'Autochtones dans nos syst\u00e8mes. Je me suis toujours demand\u00e9 pourquoi une telle situation existait. Nous savons qu'il y a des programmes de justice r\u00e9paratrice et de justice alternative qui ont plus ou moins de succ\u00e8s, selon la personne vis\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5152436\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je crois qu'en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, le syst\u00e8me cherche \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer les soins offerts aux Autochtones en milieu carc\u00e9ral et \u00e0 les aider ensuite \u00e0 r\u00e9int\u00e9grer leur collectivit\u00e9. Je reviens toujours \u00e0 ce nombre qui continue d'augmenter \u2014 et il ne s'agit pas toujours de r\u00e9cidivistes. En effet, un grand nombre de nouveaux d\u00e9linquants se retrouvent dans le syst\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5152437\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ainsi, j'aimerais donc savoir, chef Teegee, ce que vous pr\u00e9voyez accomplir, dans le cadre de vos nouvelles fonctions, pour faire une diff\u00e9rence sur le terrain aupr\u00e8s de vos jeunes et de vos collectivit\u00e9s, afin que ceux qui se retrouvent en conflit avec la loi s'efforcent d'am\u00e9liorer leur situation et \u00e9vitent d'alimenter ces statistiques \u00e0 l'avenir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5152438\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur LeClair, j'aimerais vous poser la m\u00eame question. Je suis toujours curieux d'entendre votre point de vue sur les mesures qui devraient \u00eatre prises. Monsieur, vous \u00eates en position de faire quelque chose \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, et j'aimerais beaucoup savoir comment la situation \u00e9voluera.</p>"
