Thank you.
I know that here in Nova Scotia, for instance, standards have changed over the years, and that's how we progress as a society. I do know that when the pulp mill was first placed in Boat Harbour and Pictou Landing First Nation, the government was asked on the day whether or not it would affect anybody if it was placed there, and the response was that only a few Indians would be affected. Obviously, this is a perfect example of environmental racism. One would hope that we don't continue down that path.
Do you think this bill would help to put a focus on the fact that racialized people have not been necessarily counted as being important in the past and that, going forward, we need to be able to change that and make sure that these kinds of issues are addressed and that we don't continue to do that? Do you think this bill could help us to collect the data and the information so that we make sure we don't do this in the future?
