Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witness and also to our colleague, Madam May. Thank you for being here today presenting your bill to us. Thanks for the bill.
One thing I note in the bill, and in your presentation, are these notions of environmental racism and environmental justice that you spoke to. In my world, where I grew up, justice is good and racism is bad. I think that's true for most of us. Doing away with racism and getting justice for all is something we all strive for. I'm questioning some of the nature of what we're talking about in the bill here.
Can you talk about a clear definition around what “environmental racism” might be for the legal community, because I know we're going to have to come to it quickly? The legislation we have around racism currently, right now, is around hate speech. Let's discuss how we're actually going to define “environmental racism” in a legal context. Would you speak about that, please, Madam May.
