We support the current government's efforts have our institutions reflect the diversity Canada. The federal cabinet, the Supreme court of Canada, and now the Governor General's office either have been staffed or are in the process of being staffed with people who reflect the diversity of Canada.

But this doesn't go far enough.

To date, the highest substantive station in Canada's government - that of the office of the Prime Minister - has been staffed almost exclusively by white males for virtually all of Canada's history. This is NOT reflective of Canada's diversity.

Therefore, we, the undersigned, call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau take the final step in correcting Canada's institutions to reflect Canada's diversity. We call on him to lead by example by resigning as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and by extension, as the Prime Minister of Canada, so that his station can be filled by a member who more adequately reflects the diversity of Canada. It's twentysixteen. Time for a Prime Minister who reflects the diversity of Canada.
