    Canadian Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) 20 Toronto Street Suite 300 Toronto, ON M5C 2B8 Website: cabl.ca Twitter: @CABLNational June 25, 2020 Open Letter and Delivered by E-mail The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 The Honourable David Lametti, P.C., Q.C., M.P. Minister of Justice House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Lametti: Re: Federal Government Strategies to Address Anti-Black Racism Further to my discussion with Minister Lametti, the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers’ (CABL) is keen to collaborate with your Government by offering its insight and expertise on critical issues affecting the Black community. On behalf of CABL, I include a list of strategic priorities we wish you to consider. But first, we want to commend the Minister of Justice for showing a willingness to act. The existence of systemic anti-Black racism in Canadian society, including our legal system, cannot be seriously disputed. Reports from the courts, academia and the media highlight the often- negative experience many Black Canadians experience within the criminal justice system. Black Canadians are stopped, carded and searched by police at disproportionate rates. Similarly, Black Canadians are disproportionately incarcerated. Stated differently, there are too many Black Canadians detained, too many Black Canadians charged and too many Black Canadians in jail. They also make up a disproportionate percentage of the victims of police violence. On the other hand, there is a distinct dearth of diversity among stakeholders of the criminal justice system.
