I want to put on record that—when this committee is making recommendations—some of the Canadian anti-racism materials that are cited as additional reading come from workbooks. One of them is entitled “Dismantling Racism”, and this is what it says. It does mention Jews, but only as a quick aside to say that Jews have opted to become white in order to benefit from white supremacy: “Becoming white involves giving up [parts] of your original culture in order to get the advantages and privileges of [belonging to a] white group.” This is the stuff that is cited by the Government of Canada in teaching people about racism. I cannot stress enough that this committee has no business making recommendations when the training in the Government of Canada is racist in itself.
