This report presents 80 recommendations for governmental, institutional, and organizational cooperation to amend inequities of race and ethnicity in Canada. According to a general introduction, most non-white minorities are not participating fully in Canadian society: their opportunities are being denied because they are frequently believed to be from a different culture that will not "fit" the structures of public and private institutions in Canada. The government is called upon to consciously remove all obstacles preventing the full participation of all citizens in employment, education, and politics. The introduction describes how institutions, often unintentionally, can restrict the life chances of non-white individuals through a variety of seemingly neutral rules, regulations, and procedures. The introduction also gives a brief account of the creation by the House of Commons of the Special Committee on Visible Minorities, and tells how witnesses appearing before the committee have persuasively testified to the need for changes in the law, political structure, employment practices, government policies, the media, settlement programs, and the educational system. Following the introduction, the report is divided into six chapters in which members of different minorities describe particular inequities and which provide recommendations in the areas of: (1) social integration; (2) employment; (3) public policy; (4) legal and justice issues; (5) media; and (6) education. A checklist of recommendations and a glossary of terms is included, together with three appendices which present: a roster of committee witnesses; a list of groups and individuals who contributed to the committee; a list of staff members; and minutes of proceedings.
