Answer: (C)

These sections focus on Indigenous offenders. Section 718.2(e) of the Criminal Code requires the court to consider the unique circumstances of Aboriginal offenders when deciding sentences, acknowledging historical and ongoing disadvantages and encouraging options like restorative justice that fit Indigenous contexts. Sections 81 and 84 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act require correctional authorities to provide culturally appropriate programs and services for Indigenous inmates, involve Indigenous communities in planning and decision-making, and recognize Indigenous healing practices as part of rehabilitation and reintegration. Together, they ensure that Indigenous offenders receive sentencing and correctional processes that address their specific cultural and systemic needs.
