Government will engage residents to create a new anti-racism act in B.C.: Rachna Singh
BY , Dec 1, 2020 6:23 PM - REPORT AN ERRORBritish Columbia's parliamentary secretary for anti-racism initiatives says the government will engage residents to create a new anti-racism act.
Rachna Singh says in a statement that the government also plans to work with the province's human rights commissioner and others to pave the way for race-based data collection.
She says the goal is to reduce systemic discrimination in various sectors, including health care.
Singh issued the statement following the release of a report by former judge Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond that found 84 per cent of Indigenous respondents reported some form of discrimination in health care.
