Now that might happen. Just imagine. There are people out there who might just say: "Gosh, how am I going to go about getting myself a job here? I know I have the same
qualifications as the vast majority of other people that are applying. How am I going to get a job? I know what I might have to do. I might have to self-identify myself into one of these groups".
This brings to mind an anomaly in the whole notion of visible minorities and disadvantaged groups. Based on statistics obtained from Statistics Canada we know that Japanese Canadians have among the highest incomes and the highest education levels of all Canadians, yet they would qualify under this legislation as a disadvantaged group. Figure that out. Does that make any sense?
There is deafening silence opposite. Give them a minute to think about it. We have a demographic group in our country that has the highest single average education, the highest single average income, but members of that group qualify as disadvantaged because of the colour of their skin.
