1. The number of hate crimes against Aboriginal people may be under-reported due to the unavailability of data from police services in the territories and the Prairie provinces where the proportion of the Aboriginal population in Canada is highest. 2. Includes hate crimes that target more than one race or ethnic group. 3. Includes motivations based upon race or ethnicity not otherwise stated (e.g. Latin American, South American). Note: In total, information reflects data reported by police services which, in 2009, covered 87% of the population of Canada.
