à mon avis, le problème est, non pas la surreprésentation des Autochtones et des membres des Premières nations dans nos prisons, mais la surreprésentation scandaleuse des Canadiens pauvres, Autochtones ou non, dans nos prisons.
Hon. Hugh Segal: Honourable senators, I wish to speak briefly against the motion in amendment, not because I think the purpose, spirit, sensitivity and compassion reflected in it is not something with which we would all want to associate, but because I think the problem is not First Nations and Aboriginals being overrepresented in our prisons. The problem is that poor Canadians are being wildly overrepresented in our prisons, whether they be First Nations or not.
