Conducting, Commissioning And Publicly Disseminating Research, Recommendations, And White Papers Related To The Causes, Manifestations, And Solutions To Systemic Racism Affecting Black Canadians
We as the Canadian Council of Business Leaders Against Anti-Black Systemic Racism are planning to conduct and/or commission research into issues related to Canadian human rights, systemic racism affecting Black Canadians and other ancillary subjects. The existing body of research in this area is scarce and underdeveloped. Accordingly, our research activities will not only add value but also greatly augment and enrich the existing collection of scholarly data available.
Specific research studies conducted or commissioned by the Canadian Council of Business Leaders Against Anti-Black Systemic Racism may include the following areas of study:
- the intersection of Canadian human rights law and systemic racism affecting Black Canadians;
- efforts being undertaken in Canada to address systemic racism affecting Black Canadians and their effect
- a comparison of efforts to combat and prevent systemic racism affecting Black communities being undertaken in multiple countries and their effect
Research conducted will be based on reasonable assumptions and will utilize generally accepted methodologies to obtain impartial and verifiable data. Studies will be conducted by qualified researchers that possess the training and experience necessary to carry out the goals of the research competently and effectively. The findings will be submitted for peer review to ensure that its findings and methods are appropriate and that the conclusions present a reasoned position substantiated by the data.
In certain circumstances, the Canadian Council of Business Leaders Against Anti-Black Systemic Racism may fund research conducted by other qualified donees in the field of Canadian human rights, systemic racism affecting Black Canadians and other ancillary subjects. In each such case, the Canadian Council of Business Leaders Against Anti-Black Systemic Racism will confirm the following:
- that the organization in question is a qualified donee within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada); and
- that the research to be funded is of a nature which advances one or more of the Canadian Council of Business Leaders Against Anti-Black Systemic Racism’s charitable purposes.
