1. Opening statement: Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination M-103

   The Government has the power to take action to protect people who are being harmed by racism and Islamophobia, and we call on it to boldly do so. There is considerable scope for the Government to develop positions, policies and programs that promote inclusion and respect, especially for racial and religious minorities. These types of actions are consistent with the values of Canadians and the Charter.

2. Discours d’ouverture : Comité permanent du patrimoine canadien M-103 – Le racisme et la discrimination religieuse systémiques

   Le gouvernement a le pouvoir d’agir pour protéger les personnes  auxquelles nuisent le racisme et l’islamophobie, et nous le sommons de le faire avec assurance. Le gouvernement a une marge de manœuvre considérable lorsqu’il s’agit de prendre position et d’élaborer des politiques et des programmes qui encouragent l’inclusion et le respect, tout particulièrement pour les minorités raciales et religieuses. De telles mesures correspondent aux valeurs des Canadiennes et Canadiens, et sont conformes à la Charte.  

3. Leadership needed to fight racism

   A few months ago, I visited Thunder Bay and had the opportunity to speak with members of the Indigenous community. Community members told me about their concerns related to policing and child welfare, trafficking of Indigenous women and girls, and everyday racism in almost every facet of their lives including employment, housing, healthcare and retail. Most strikingly, people talked about being “garbaged” – literally having garbage thrown at them while walking down the street, all because of their Indigenous ancestry. I brought these concerns to the leaders that I met later in the day, including the Mayor and police.

4. Le leadership est une arme puissante de lutte contre le racisme

   Il y a quelques mois, j’ai visité Thunder Bay et j’ai eu l’occasion de parler à des membres de la communauté autochtone locale. Ces membres m’ont exprimé leurs préoccupations à l’égard du maintien de l’ordre, du bien-être de l’enfance, de la traite des femmes et fillettes autochtones et du racisme de tous les jours qui se manifeste dans presque toutes les facettes de leur vie, y compris en contexte d’emploi, de logement, de soins de santé et de commerce de détail.

These relationships will be built on dignity and respect, and on working to advance reconciliation and substantive equality.

We will work in collaboration to support Indigenous communities as they determine and advance their own human rights goals and priorities.
