VICTORIA — British Columbia has introduced legislation its attorney general says is designed to hold public bodies accountable for addressing systemic racism in policy and programs.

Niki Sharma says the legislation would cover provincial ministries, agencies, health-care and social service providers, and will require the development of a public action plan using data the government has collected on systemic racism.

Sharma says the government will establish a committee on anti-racism to help guide the development of the plan by June 1, 2026, and develop standards and targets.
