Justice system source of pride continued from p.10 Gupta and his family returned to Canada weeks later and were feeling devastated as a result of their loss, he said, noting his brother went to university and his father struggled to act as both parents for the siblings while mourning his wife's death. "I promised myself, and to my mom, that I was going to work in a field where I could make our world safer, healthier and happier," said Gupta. Angry that his mom was murdered "I was very angry that my mother was not only killed, but she was murdered by people we had no connection with." As a youth, he lived among several police officers and lawyers with whom he became familiar in his Etobicoke neighbourhood. They taught Gupta that if he wanted to "do something right" to honour his mom and help others, law was the path to take, he said, whether as a lawyer, working in policy or in the criminal justice system. "They mentored me through that and always taught me about the human element, about caring for people and showing compassion for people. I credit them for guiding me on the path that I've been on for the last few decades," said Gupta. The CHRT vice-chair's decision to work in a field to help people led him to the justice system, and he served as a federal prosecutor for more than a decade. Proud of Canadian justice system "I'm still feeling very proud of our justice system, very proud, more importantly, of the people in our justice system. We don't have a perfect justice system, but I do think we have a great system in Canada -- by far the best I know," said Gupta. As part of the Q-and-A, Gupta gave advice to students interested in a career in law. He told the crowd to study what you love, be involved in your community, well-educated and learn about the world and people, since "law is all about people." "As long as you care about people and do what you love, you could find your way into a career in the justice system or as a prosecutor. Doing things I love really helped me become a prosecutor."
