Mr. Speaker, then why did the minister say that there was no systemic racism in Canada?
The new national anti-racism strategy comes directly from the report “Taking action against systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia”. At committee, Senator Murray Sinclair stated, “systemic racism is the racism that's left over after you get rid of the racists. Once you get rid of the racists within the justice system...you will still have racism perpetrated by the justice system.”
Senator Sinclair is absolutely correct. Has the minister even read the report?
