43rd Parliament, 2nd Session
M-84 — May 10, 2021 — Mr. Julian (New Westminster—Burnaby) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should immediately counteract all forms of hate and all forms of discrimination, hate crimes and incidents of hate by:
|
(a) working with provinces, territories, municipalities and community-based organizations to put into place a reporting and tracking system for hate crimes and incidents of hate to ensure accurate tracking; |
|
(b) launching a robust public education campaign across Canada, focused on understanding and behavioural change, that would clearly define inappropriate behaviours and communicate the terrible impacts of systemic racism and the serious impact of racist actions, gestures and verbal abuse, and encouraging Canadians to stand up for others when someone is being targeted; |
|
(c) ensuring that comprehensive victim services are available to all those who are victims of hate crimes or hate incidents; |
|
(d) working to eliminate harmful images and stereotypes present in media and cinema; |
|
(e) strengthening all legislation against hate and introducing amendments to the Canadian Human Rights Act to ensure that hate speech no longer occurs with impunity; and |
|
(f) ensuring that all federal government agencies and institutions consider the prevention of discrimination and the promotion of diversity as guiding principles of their work. |
NDP Critic for Canadian Heritage Peter Julian issued the following statement:
"It has come to our attention that a consultant for a federally funded anti-racism project has a disturbing track record of spewing hate speech online against Jewish and francophone communities. This is completely unacceptable. We call on the Minister of Heritage to take drastic action and terminate his contract.
NDP Heritage Critic Peter Julian issued the following statement:
“Today’s announcement by Hockey Canada is another attempt to delay the important and urgent work to deal with the toxic culture in this organization. While a former Supreme Court Justice is a credible appointment to conduct the review into Hockey Canada, this won’t be the first time the organization undergoes this process.
NDP critic for Canadian Heritage, Peter Julian, made the following statement:
“Canadians are horrified by the incidents of sexual assault and by what they’re hearing from Hockey Canada. They are left with many questions about how this toxic culture is allowed to persist in our sports organizations and what the government is actually doing to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
