"Between 20 % and 25 % of convicted sexual offenders in Canada are Aboriginal. As with non-Aboriginal offenders, those who have been convicted are the tip of the ice berg. While precise numbers are not available, there may be as many as 150,000 Aboriginal sex offenders in Canada." -- Executive Summary, p. i.
"This report is about Aboriginal sexual offending in Canada. The incidence of Aboriginal sexual offending is examined, trends over recent years are reviewed, current prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and healing approaches are analyzed, and gaps in current services are enumerated. In the final chapter, we present a strategic framework for addressing Aboriginal sexual offending in Canada. At the outset, we wish to locate current issues about Aboriginal sexual offending in their proper historical context. For this reason, we take the opportunity in this introductory chapter to discuss sexuality in traditional Aboriginal societies, as well as the impact that colonization has on age-old Aboriginal practices and beliefs. We believe the disruption of traditional beliefs and practices, including the harm brought about by residential schools has in no small part been responsible for creating the social economic and political conditions that account for high levels of sexual abuse in many Aboriginal communities today." -- Chapter 1, p. 1.

"We were asked to propose ways and means to deal effectively with the results of the sexual scandals that have affected our Church, and ways and means to prevent recurrences of sexual abuse of children. Our Christian faith teaches us that hope and life can arise out of pain and suffering. .... Our Church will not move 'from death to life' in dealing with sexual abuse without profound and radical change -- change that reflects a genuine search for truth, dedication to a Church of service, community renewal, and indestructible hope. ... We believe that we have discerned a new spirit and an array of means that point to a shining hope on the horizon and will ensure the triumph of life. These convictions, rooted in our faith, encouraged us to title our report: 'From Pain to Hope'." -- Foreword.
