Right Vehicle: Healthcare Institutions and Labour Shortages

right vehicle: The Liberal government heading into an election year has decided to tweak the optics on the issue, offering a new plan to hold a consultation on immigration and how new Quebecers integrate into society, according to CTV. Instead of looking at how some police forces and some healthcare institutions mistreat people of colour, for example, it will emphasize how immigrants are needed to fill certain labour shortages. After criticisms that it would be like putting Quebecers on trial,' there will instead be hearings into the value of diversity and the battle against discrimination. The previous inquiry, involving the Quebec Human Rights Commission, simply wasn't the right vehicle, said new Immigration Minister David Heurtel. The Centre for Research-Action on Race Relations said this is a missed opportunity, but Heurtel said he wants to deal with discrimination but also practical solutions. Heurtel said it is not the type of conversation the government wants to have at this point. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
