A Métis federal inmate challenged correctional authorities’ use of psychological and actuarial risk tools for Indigenous offenders, alleging statutory and Charter breaches.
The Court held that authorities breached their duty under s. 24(1) of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act by continuing to rely on the tools without taking reasonable steps to confirm validity for Indigenous persons.
The Court declined to find violations of ss. 7 or 15 of the Charter on the evidentiary record.
Declaratory relief was granted in light of the prolonged and ineffective grievance history, but no broader injunctive remedy was ordered.
