Institutional racism

And we have more rights, so that is a step in the right direction, but it's still going to be aro- about race.

There's systemic racism.

This is an example of systemic racism.

And the system itself, it benefits from it, right? Even if it's benefited from us going back and forth and all the things.

The other note that you mentioned is just that silent period that happened.

research?Yeah.

So the advocacy for known wells, it's a systemic justice issue.

And, you know, the Proba app, it's about healthcare and how there is systemic racism in healthcare as well.

And these factors interfere with people receiving quality and timely care.

And for Māori, diagnostic overshadowing is compounded by other factors, such as historical and ongoing disadvantage and inequities, institutional racism, having cultural mistrust of mainstream services which stem from negative historical and personal experiences.

It could be stigma and shame which reduce their help-seeking.

Like I mentioned before, there's fragmented care.

They're less likely to receive thorough investigation and more likely to experience delayed diagnosis.

Cheryl, I wonder if we can pick up on a number of those things.

So you've mentioned stigma, institutional racism, and previous negative healthcare experiences which then affect trust and engagement for our Māori patients.

How does this work, and how do we think about this?

And so let's back up here and just give a little bit of context for this because the story has actually been ongoing since 2023.

In 2022, first, pardon me, there was the report from the Trudeau government, which we've cited on the briefing before, titled the Minister of National Defense Advisory Panel on Systematic Racism and Discrimination, end quote, which recommended that the CAF stop hiring chaplains who, quote, represent or are affiliated with organized religions whose beliefs are not synonymous with those of a diverse and inclusive workplace.

So If you have religious beliefs or subscribe to a religion that makes exclusivist claims, which all religions do, Christianity and Islam cannot both be true at the same time.

Right? So...
