Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was arrested on this subject in the House of Commons on Wednesday, but he refused to speak out clearly and instead denounced racism.
“Our priority is always to put forward concrete actions to combat racism in all its forms,” he answered the question of the leader of the Bloc Québécois, Yves-François Blanchet.
In Quebec, the government defends the university professor, who used a racist word in an academic context. We are talking about slippage, although we admit that the question is sensitive.
“We must be able to transmit knowledge, address these questions and pronounce these words, if we really want to evolve,” believes the Minister of Higher Education, Danielle McCann.
Faced with the heated debate, the Parti québécois is asking for a special trans-partisan commission.
“Let’s get the people who know this to the table quickly. Let’s make a policy, then implement it. At that point, we will have moved forward, we will not just have shown our feelings, ”said party leader Paul St-Pierre-Plamondon.
“Let us seize this opportunity, but do it with respect, not with lynching. You should not “pitch” rocks. And also, you have to have a plurality of voices, ”said the mayor of Montreal, Valérie Plante.
Use sparingly
The Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse states that “the term with an N” can be used, but sparingly.
“Even in an academic context, it’s important to keep this in perspective: is it really necessary to use it to better understand a subject? You really have to contextualize, ”said Commission Vice-President Myrlande Pierre.
