Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Quebecois wants to join in with those who will speak to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Racial discrimination is a costly thing. It is costly in human, social, emotional and economic terms. Racial discrimination is based on the premise that people are not all equal. However, Canada and Quebec both view people's equality as a fundamental value.
Nevertheless, there are still too many individual and sometimes collective cases of people being victims of racial discrimination. Together we must eliminate inequalities between people. This, in turn, will help us eliminate racial discrimination.
