There have been centuries of discrimination and racism in Canada, and I think all Canadians have absorbed some of that to one degree or another, either on the receiving end or in perpetrating it. It's a part of our culture that we really need to deconstruct.
In terms of employment, I think there are some great organizations that are doing good work here in Manitoba in helping to give training to people. There are social enterprises that are bringing people into apprenticeship programs. They are helping people by recognizing that more than just training is needed. Life skills development is also needed, as is working with the employers, in order to recognize that different groups have different abilities, different capacities, and different skills that they're bringing to a job situation.
One of the important roles that government can have is not just in funding those organizations, but in procurement from them. A lot of the really good work that has been done in Manitoba housing in recent years has been done through social enterprises that provide training and employment opportunities for people with barriers to employment. That helps get people in the door and it gives people confidence. Once people have more confidence and more work experience in their jobs, they're able to move out into other sectors of employment.
