Commission on Systemic Racism in the Ontario Criminal Justice System

The Commission on Systemic Racism in the Ontario Criminal Justice System was established to examine how racial bias and discrimination affect justice outcomes for Indigenous peoples and racialized communities. It aims to identify ways the system may unfairly impact these groups, including policing, court procedures, and incarceration. The goal is to promote fairness, reduce racial disparities, and implement reforms that ensure all individuals are treated equitably under the law. The commission’s work involves research, community consultation, and recommending policies to address systemic racism within Ontario’s criminal justice system.
