Chinese Canadians: Liberal Government

Liberal government: Though the federal government disallowed the law, An Act to Prevent the Immigration of Chinese , discussions about opposing the influx of Orientals and banning employment of Chinese or Japanese workers continued in the B.C. legislature up until the 1930s. On Wednesday, more than 100 archival records of such government-sanctioned discrimination against Canadians of Chinese, Japanese and South Asian descent were released to the public by the B.C. New Democrats, according to The Star. Though the Liberal government is already conducting province-wide public consultations on how best to word and deliver the apology, Dix said the forums are meaningless and insincere if British Columbians dont know the history around why the government is apologizing and VANCOUVER In 1876, a motion was put forward in the British Columbia legislature that called on the government to prevent Canada from being flooded with a Mongolian population that would ruin B.C.s working class. NDP leader Adrian Dix said the move was an effort to substantiate the governments planned formal apology to Chinese Canadians for historic wrongs. The apology is expected to be delivered during the spring sitting of the legislature. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
