From the health industry perspective, I would say that I have personally seen and experienced discrimination and racial profiling. During the training and everything, I've been called a terrorist and I've been called...so yes.
I know that there are so many medical graduates who.... I see it. I receive emails. They are overqualified. They are willing to work not even as physicians but below physician levels, as physician assistants, and even then they are not getting the jobs. Sometimes I've heard people say, “Well, he's overqualified, but at least we are getting an overqualified health practitioner or health professional and giving him a physician assistant job.”
These things are going on all over Canada. We know it. I mean, all of us are highly educated people, and we have the insight. We know what's going on. I think it's time for us to say that, yes, this is going on and we need to deal with it head-on, rather than just trying to talk, mellow it down, and say that it doesn't exist or something like that.
