Judge demands Indigenous report for man who claims to be Caucasian

“In my view, regardless of the ‘joint submission’ provided by Mr. Kuneyuna and the Crown, his erroneous position as to his heritage does not amount to a waiver of the need for this court to make the inquiry as to his background factors that are required by the cases of Gladue and Ipeelee,” Gorin said. “I require more information than he is prepared to provide me. While I do not require a complete pre-sentence report, I do require a report that provides me with his background factors as an indigenous offender.”
