Yes, Madam Chair.

My arguments are similar to the points that I made regarding amendment LIB-1. We must ensure consistency in the use of terms.

I want to acknowledge Mr. MacGregor's generosity. I also want to acknowledge Ms. Atwin's work. That said, it's better to have general categories than to have very specific items. That way, we take into account the possibility that things may change over time. That's why I'm using the same terms in this section, which are “systemic racism and discrimination”.
