United States. As Premier of Quebec, I stand in solidarity with the people who

denounce racial violence we must continue to build a society free of

racism. I want to thank the vast majority of people who respected the distancing

measures and who were a mask at the protest in Montreal yesterday. On the

other hand, those who took advantage of it to loot and vandalize must face the

legal consequences.

Mr. Premier, going back to yesterday's protest one of the

main messages from the protesters was that systemic

racism is not just a U.S. problem, that there is systemic racism with Montreal

police and the SQ. Do you agree with those protesters?

I would say that

yes, we have to admit that we have some problems in in Montreal, in Quebec, but

the problem is not as worse as in the United States, I would say. But still, I don't

like to see that few — it's a real very, very small minority of our police people

that they choose a bit the people arrested, so I would like that we stop

that and I want to make sure that the study that is done and the book that

will be presented, the green book by Geneviève Guilbault, this problem will be studied

in order to that we make sure that it doesn't happen anymore.

I'm gonna retake the question of my colleague from CBC and I'll just go in

a little more detail here. Justin Trudeau, earlier today he said

regarding the protests in the U.S., but in Canada as well, he said anti-black racism

is real, unconscious bias is real, systemic discrimination is real and they

happen in Canada. So do you still think that Trudeau is wrong and that the

protesters yesterday are wrong and that there is no systemic discrimination and

systemic racism in Quebec?

We have this discussion very often. I think there

is some discrimination in Quebec but there is no systemic discrimination.

There's no system in Quebec of discrimination. It's a very, very small

minority of the people that are doing some discrimination.
