I'd like to call to order meeting number 73 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, 42nd Parliament, first session. We're meeting on the issue of systemic racism and religious discrimination, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2).
The first hour, from 3:30 to 4:30, we have two people here: Ayesha Chaudhry, associate professor and chairholder of the Canada research chair in religion, law and social justice. The second person on the panel is Avvy Yao-Yao Go from the Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Clinic. She's clinic director.
Each of you will have 10 minutes, and I'll try to give you a two-minute heads-up. After that, there is a question and answer round. We will do that until 4:30. Then we will move into the second round.
Let's start with Ayesha because she's first on my list.
