Mr. Speaker, in extending the UN International Decade for People of African Descent, this government has done more to recognize systemic bias, systemic discrimination, unconscious bias and anti-Black racism than any other. There is always more to do, which is why we have stepped up with the Black entrepreneurship program. It is responding to the needs of Black communities to access more capital to create the prosperity they so need to be able to create for their communities. We are continuing to invest in anti-Black racism initiatives and continuing to stand with the Black community. There is always more to do, and we will do it.
