Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both ministers and officials for being here. There's no question that both of your portfolios are very important for the success of this country.
I want to speak specifically about anti-racism and people with disabilities.
Minister Khera, I think your file is probably one of the most important files in government, because it talks about our future. It talks about our opportunity and where we're going as a country when it comes to opening up opportunity. We can build opportunity through investing in industry. We can build opportunity by bringing skilled workers to Canada. We can also bring opportunity to this country by opening up opportunity for people and leveraging our workforce that's here to better participate and build this country.
I know that people living with disabilities.... Anti-racism is a moral imperative, but it's also an economic imperative. We know that if people reach their full potential, it contributes to our economy. It contributes to our well-being as a country. I know anti-racism work has been one of this government's key pillars, looking for ways to create more inclusion, diversity and opportunity for all people. I know this was the first federal government that put in place an anti-racism strategy.
Could you take a few minutes to talk about the anti-racism strategy, where we're coming from, where we're going, and how this is going to benefit Canadians overall? Even though it may specifically speak to a person who may face discrimination, it actually speaks to the benefit of all Canadians. When that person who faces discrimination has a barrier removed, it contributes to the well-being of every person in this country. If you could talk a bit about that, I would appreciate it.
