Minority Groups: Cabinet Positions and Ctv News

minority groups: In the same period there have been nearly 1,500 nominees overall, according to CTV. Quebec Solidaire co-spokesperson Amir Khadir says the list represents a lack of diversity in cabinet. The party compiled a list that shows only 46 visible minorities were nominated for provincial cabinet positions since April, 2014. These minorities, including the First Nations, represent less than 3 per cent of the nominations, he said. A Liberal spokesperson told CTV News that while there is still progress to be made, the party has worked hard to include several minority groups, including aboriginals, allophones, Anglophones and visible minorities. This is systematic discrimination. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
