Promise · 6 wordsHowever, we can work on it.Vague promise Claims · 73 wordsWhat is really great about this bill is that we are able to call out a source of frustration that continues to intimidate all Black communities. If we look at the Black members of the House, none of us are immune to this kind of thing, no matter where we are. I think what Canadians see in us and in this bill is a way to call things out and protect all Canadians.Partly on point
