We're working with a lot of the departments to raise awareness. We have champions in every department. We give them tools. What are the questions you need to ask yourself when you develop policies and programs? If you were in the minority group where issues of intersectionality matter, how should you go about your policies and programs?
Even within Canadian Heritage, dealing with diversity is not only about the multiculturalism program. We have a range of arts and culture programs that support a lot of festivals, a lot of museum exhibits, and so on that talk about full participation. The fact that we're seeing people from a range of communities on your TV screen, or on stages in theatres, is also about full participation. Within the department we're not limiting ourselves when we talk about full participation in the multiculturalism program.
As to working with Statistics Canada, we're engaging constantly with them about new tools, new ideas, things they could study. I think they have their own challenges in what can be found in a statistical study, as opposed to another type of research, to say where the real discrimination happens. There are limits to the statistical versus other types of research. That's why we also work with other academics who are looking into these issues, so we get other perspectives on the issues of discrimination. We're very active in monitoring and working with academics so we understand better what the situation is now on the ground in terms of discrimination.
