(Quebec) The tragic anniversary of the death of Joyce Echaquen provoked a discriminatory confrontation over formal racism in Saloon Blue. The health minister, Christian Dube, said he was “very disappointed” to learn that only 1% of health workers followed the mandatory training mandated after his death.
The Liberal Party and the Quebec Solidarity Institute on Tuesday acknowledged the legitimate government’s presence of formal racism in Quebec, while September 28 marks the anniversary of the death of Joyce Echaquan, who died as a result of racist insults at Joliet Hospital’s nursing staff.
Both political parties called on the government to recognize the “Joyce Policy” which guarantees equal access to health and social services to indigenous peoples. Prime Minister Franசois LeCald said he agreed to “agree” with the “Joyce policy” but refused to abide by it as it sought to recognize formal racism.
“We all have a responsibility […] All Indigenous peoples should have access to our services without any discrimination in our networks, ”Mr Legalt said. “There is racism in Quebec, and we must fight it. This is not the time to divide the Cubans by a few words,” he added, answering a question from parliamentarian Gabriel Nado-Dubois.
