For far too long the politically correct have demanded that different and lower benchmarks apply to those seen as minorities. So, for example, we have one set of criminal law and child protection standards for aboriginals and another for non aboriginals. Seems to me that suggesting minorities cannot be expected to reach general community standards is, in itself, discriminatory and condescending. I am glad to see this small advance in the way the bureaucrats are treating this issue but agree with the author that many of us had hoped that after three years of a Harper government improvements would not be so slow in coming.Still it is better than nothing with the Trudeaucratic elites that still prevail in Canada's bureaucracy, media and courts.
