Mr. Speaker, I worked in academia in Quebec for a long time. I know how hard the university community, university administrations, faculty members and department heads work to hire people based on merit. We know that diversity makes our universities strong everywhere in Canada, including Quebec. That is why we will always work with the Government of Quebec, with all those who fight against discrimination and fighting for diversity and inclusion, so that all people, all universities and all organizations in Quebec and elsewhere make the right decisions in the right circumstances.
