I worked in anti-racism education and in indigenising curriculums in our public spaces and in our schools. That work will continue. I am so honoured to have the opportunity to do it from this vantage point, but this is a commitment that I made a long time ago. I do believe that education is the key to eradicating systemic racism in our communities, and we all need to call out the overt racism that we are seeing, so there are many layers to this, but it takes all of us.</p>",

Plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment, j'ai \u0153uvr\u00e9 dans le domaine de l'\u00e9ducation antiraciste et je me suis employ\u00e9e \u00e0 rendre nos programmes publics et scolaires plus sensibles aux r\u00e9alit\u00e9s autochtones. Ce travail va se poursuivre. Je suis tr\u00e8s honor\u00e9e de pouvoir le faire dans mon r\u00f4le de parlementaire, mais c'est un engagement que j'ai pris il y a longtemps. Je crois que l'\u00e9ducation est la cl\u00e9 pour \u00e9radiquer le racisme syst\u00e9mique dans nos communaut\u00e9s, et nous devons tous d\u00e9noncer le racisme flagrant que nous observons. C'est un probl\u00e8me qui comporte de multiples facettes, et nous devons tous nous mobiliser. </p>"
