Our recommendations

This consultation not only brought into lignt the existence and the many forms of racial profiling and systemic discrimination in various public institutions in Québec, it also identified some promising and concrete solutions.

Whether as citizens, community organizations or decision makers, the Commission believes that we all have a role to play in combating prejudices that fuel racial profiling and systemic discrimination.

However, in its final report, the Commission calls on some key stakeholders to whom it adresses 93 recommendations to neutralize racial profiling and discrimination in Québec.

flèche  Recommendations Summary

Highlights

The Commission suggests that the following axes of intervention must be applied across the board in the three institutional sectors targeted by its hearing (public security, education sector, youth protection system):

  • The prohibition of racial profiling and discrimination must be formally stated in the law, the regulatory framework or the organizational policy, as appropriate, and there must be remedies aimed at penalizing violations;
  • Antiracism and intercultural training must be provided to both managers and personnel who will be called to work (basic education) or already working (continuing education) in the institutional sectors concerned;
  • The personnel of the institutions concerned must reflect the ethnocultural diversity of the groups of people that they serve, at every level of their hierarchical structure;
  • Public institutions must establish rigorous procedures for data collection and analysis, or where appropriate, must revise those that already exist, in order to better detect instances of racial profiling or discrimination;
  • Accountability procedures must be instituted at every level of the organizational structure in order to make each stakeholder accountable for its actions aimed at preventing racial profiling and discrimination;
  • The public institutions concerned must establish more sustainable partnerships with community organizations that interact with ethnic or racialized minorities in order to benefit from their expertise.
