Mr. Speaker, all Canadians were shocked to see the video of Joyce Echaquan's final moments. I offer our sincere condolences to her family and to the people of Manawan in these incredibly difficult times.
This was the worst form of racism at a time when someone was most in need of help. This is another example of systemic racism, which is completely unacceptable in Canada. An investigation must be completed quickly to determine whether Joyce was the victim of more than racist comments.
We commend Quebec's decision to act quickly to launch an investigation, and we will do everything we can to condemn all forms of racism and discrimination and to support those affected.
