Mr. Chair, I respectfully have to disagree with your position on this. We've made three amendments that add the terms “racism” and “systemic racism” throughout the text, both in the preamble and in the body of the text. I think the amendment that's put forward by Mr. Battiste really does speak to the issues of racism; therefore, I would submit that this is a result of amendments that have been made and approved by this committee.
