Racism platforms

Here's what the 2024 NB election parties are promising.
We don't have any PC policies on Racism.

Liberal

  • Immediately review and respond to the Systemic Racism Commissioner's Final Report, and implement recommendations

    "Immediately review and respond to the Systemic Racism Commissioner’s Final Report, working on a timely plan to implement its recommendations." — Team Holt: Focused On You, retrieved 2024-10-12

Green

  • Make the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission an independent body reporting directly to the Legislative Assembly

    "Equality and inclusion are fundamental to a just society. Discrimination not only denies individuals their dignity but also hinders their ability to fully participate and contribute to our communities. A Green government is dedicated to promoting equality by making the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission an independent body reporting directly to the Legislative Assembly. This crucial step will enhance transparency and accountability in addressing human rights issues. To achieve genuine equality, we must go further by actively dismantling existing barriers that prevent marginalized groups from accessing opportunities and services." — Election Platform 2024, retrieved 2024-10-12

  • Fully implement the recommendations from the Systemic Racism Commissioner's Final Report 2022

    "Fully implement the recommendations from the Systemic Racism Commissioner’s Final Report 2022, including commissioning an Indigenous-led, independent public inquiry into New Brunswick’s justice and policing systems to identify and correct systemic racism against Indigenous people." — Election Platform 2024, retrieved 2024-10-12

  • Create a government secretariat led by a Deputy Minister to tackle systemic racism across government, institutions, and Crown Corporations

    "Create a government secretariat led by a Deputy Minister empowered with overseeing the dismantling of systemic racism across government, its institutions and its Crown Corporations." — Election Platform 2024, retrieved 2024-10-12

  • Commission an Indigenous-led, independent public inquiry into the New Brunswick justice and policing systems

    "Commission an Indigenous-led, independent public inquiry into the New Brunswick justice and policing systems to uncover systemic racism against Indigenous peoples and how to correct it." — Election Platform 2024, retrieved 2024-10-12
