Justice committee  As part of our policies, we look at all forms of hate on a case-by-case basis. All forms of hate, exclusion and harassment are included in our policies.

Justice committee  Yes, it is part of our EDI policies to ensure that all disadvantaged groups who have faced disadvantage or exclusion in the past have—

Justice committee  I've answered the question regarding quotas already. With regard to going forward, our EDI policies are totally inclusive.

Justice committee  I cannot answer if there is a specific reference to past quotas. I can answer that there is no such provision at this point, that there is no quota for any given community.

Justice committee  My answer is yes.

Justice committee  In 2022, we implemented an initiative on Islamophobia and antisemitism. To do that, we engaged in extensive consultations, especially with our Muslim and Jewish communities. Based on those consultations, we made a number of recommendations, which have already been implemented. Of course, we did that study because we recognized that Islamophobia and antisemitism existed in our community.

Justice committee  Yes. I am aware that McGill had a quota system until I believe the 1960s. It is a part of our history that we are absolutely not proud of. It is a part of Canadian history that I think we as Canadians should all be very concerned about. Going forward, we have been working since the 1960s to make McGill a much more inclusive place.

Justice committee  I believe they are, but I will have to verify it one more time to make sure that my personal understanding of it is correct. I can get back to the committee.

Justice committee  Madam Chair, answering through you, the answer is yes. If any faculty are found to be violating any of our policies with regard to hate and discrimination, including anti-Semitism, our policies are adequate to account for that, and proceedings will be taken against those individuals.

Justice committee  Madam Chair, I'll answer the member's question through you. We apply our student code with respect to discrimination, hate, bullying, harassment or any other offensive behaviour that is targeted at specific groups based on their race, religion, background or circumstance, etc.

Justice committee  The way I hear them used right now on our campuses, including at McGill, I find it to be anti-Semitic.

Justice committee  Yes.

Justice committee  Yes.

Justice committee  If this comes forward, I will give my support for starting the process.

Justice committee  I personally find many of the demands of this movement offensive. Should the matter come up in front of our governing bodies, we will consider it.
