Quotations
The issue of race relations is becoming one of increasing challenge for Canadian society. Recent evidence suggests that the problems in this area are becoming more serious, thus, threatening the well being of our multicultural and multiracial society. (Minister's Preface) Immigration has a key place in our history. Except for our natives peoples, we are all immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. (Roy Atkey, former Minister of Employment and Immigration, page 56)
