Mr. Speaker, when I asked about a University of Ottawa professor being deprived of her freedom, the Prime Minister replied that we are responsible for what we say. I imagine that we are just as responsible for the makeup we wear. I refused to define him as a racist during his blackface scandal.
In a similar vein, will the Prime Minister acknowledge that the Indian Act is racist and systemic and that the act's name, which contains the “I” word, is just as insulting to Canada's first nations?
