Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have absolutely nothing against the idea of promoting the growth and visibility of racialized communities and individuals. I'm only acting in good faith, but I wonder why we need to specify one racialized community over the others. Aren't we opening the door to other, equally justified requests that may come from other racialized communities?
Later in our bundle of amendments, there are two that address this same request in a more general and inclusive way, in my opinion. They are CPC‑3 and G‑2, which is being proposed by Mr. Coteau. These amendments are much more inclusive and they don't target any group in particular.
My question is for Mr. Julian. Personally, I find that we have other amendments written in a more general and inclusive way.
