NDP leader Jagmeet Singh called on the Liberal government during Wednesday’s Question Period to take real action on systemic racism following the death of Joyce Echaquan, an Indigenous woman who died on Monday in a Quebec hospital amid troubling circumstances. Trudeau responded by offering condolences to the victim’s family and describing systemic racism as ” simply unacceptable” and called for a rapid investigation into the incident.
