Recommendation 6:
One of the most valuable ways in which judicial perspectives could be sought as to the level of education and training received across Canada, would be through an in-depth consultation that would identify fundamental flaws within the Canadian legal system (see Martinson & Jackson, 2016). Consultations should include members of the Indigenous legal community, who are best placed to speak to the needs of Indigenous children in Canada (CBA, 2020).
