Just reading the old action plan, I think it is a good starting piece, but it is not specific enough. It's too general. Working in Ontario, seeing the action plan set out there, I would recommend that we create an action plan that sets a framework, obviously, a framework of intersectionality, and a racial equity lens. In doing so, I would then urge this committee, based on what it's heard, to choose priorities. Create within a national action plan the ability to have an overall framework and then priorities, perhaps corrections as a priority, employment as a priority, Islamophobia as a priority, hate crimes as a priority.
In the work that's being done in Ontario specifically, four pillars have been identified: Islamophobia, anti-black racism, racism within the indigenous community, and anti-Semitism. Within those four pillars, there are very clearly identified targets for what the government hopes to do within the next five years. I would like to see a structure that has clarity in terms of what the framework is, then clarity in terms of the priorities, and then clarity even within those priorities about what the targets are, what the measures are, and how the government proposes to reach that.
