Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
A
Thank
You
mr.
speaker,
I'm,
rising
in
the
House
today
to
speak
in
support
of
the
anti
racism
movement
rising
our
province
and
around
the
world.
I
have
been
devastated
to
witness
recent
events
both
within
our
province
and
outside
of
it,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
every
member
of
this
house
shares
my
sentiments
since
the
outbreak
over
19.
We
have
seen
a
horrific
spike
in
hate
crimes,
racism
and
intolerance
here
in
British
Columbia,
many
of
which
have
been
targeted
to
us
our
Asian
Canadian
communities.
A
A
Recent
allegation
of
racial
profiling
in
our
health
care
system,
particularly
to
us,
indigenous
people
and
communities,
highlight
that
racism
is
taking
place
in
every
aspect
of
our
society
and
it's
being
experienced
by
every
culture
and
minority
group
in
our
province
on
the
first
day
of
our
historic
parliamentary
session.
I
want
to
take
this
moment
to
affirm
of
everyone
present
that
all
parties
and
members
must
stand
together
to
show
the
world
that
there
is
Cyril
in,
say.
Cyril
Torrance
chose
racism
of
any
kind
in
our
province.
