Mr. Speaker, March 21 is indeed the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
We will continue the annual March 21 campaign which is entitled “Racism. Stop It!” We know, and we must acknowledge, that racism exists in our society. The ethnic diversity survey tells us that 35% of visible minorities experience some form of discrimination or unfair treatment.
Racism affects everyone. All Canadians must be encouraged to take action.
