Mr. Speaker, there is an alarming number of racist attacks against the Canadian Arab, Muslim and visible minority communities as a result of September 11, yet we have heard hardly a peep from multiculturalism.
I ask the Prime Minister directly. Is the government prepared to show leadership by adopting a plan of action that would include broad education, an effective anti-racism ad campaign, the monitoring of the reported incidents, enforcing the criminal code and prosecuting and stopping these crimes of hate? Is the government prepared to do those things and to give a concrete action plan?
