It is not as crucial as education or health for all Canadians, but it is an important issue that has to be dealt with. For me, what is very hard is that racism cannot be eliminated by the government. Every individual in Canada is responsible for eliminating their own racism and that of others. So it is not only a matter of resources. The population’s understanding of difference and each person’s attitude towards it is at issue here. We cannot change things solely by passing a law. It is much more practical than that.
