Quebec Premier François Legault is setting up a group to look at ways to counter racism across provincial services, ranging from policing to the education system, even while maintaining there is no evidence of systemic racism in the province. But there has also been pressure on Legault at home, to both acknowledge the existence of systemic racism and take concrete steps to counter the discrimination faced by minorities. And he again said he doesn't believe systemic racism exists in the province, despite a number of reports that have stated otherwise. A number of journalists pressed Legault to better define the ways he distinguishes between racism and systemic racism, but the premier maintained his position. "Systemic racism is not the fault of one or two people," he said.
