I think any kind of racial discrimination needs to be discussed at the level at which it's happening, with the forces that are doing it. They need to have a better understanding. I believe that the Canadian law enforcement agencies are really handicapped, because they are dealing with such diverse communities but don't really have the in-depth knowledge. There needs to be better interaction.
Again I can only speak for myself. They have come to us and asked for some sort of training and insight into the diverse Muslim communities, of which there are almost 60 different nationalities and cultures existing here. It is up to the individual communities to reach out. This is not a one-way street. If we want a better life and better understanding of the issues, the communities also have to play an important role in working with the institutions. Communities, individuals, and organizations need to work with institutions, perhaps under the umbrella of the government.
