Recommendation 4:
Chinese and Asian Canadians also face racism as workers. As frontline and essential workers during the pandemic, they are vulnerable to racist attacks and the same vulnerabilities that frontline and essential workers face. Fighting anti-Asian racism is also about recognizing how systemic inequity renders racialized communities more likely to be frontline and essential workers, and also ensuring that these workers have the protections they need:
- Ensure all workers have access to legislated paid sick days: seven permanent paid sick days in regular times and 14 paid sick days during health emergencies.
- Ensure satisfactory income support during and after the pandemic for all.
- Ensure status on arrival and implement a regularization program to grant permanent resident status to all migrants and people with precarious immigration status.

Recommendation 8:
Children’s rights, participation, welfare, and best interests are unquestionably interlinked. Children are persons with their own legal rights and must be guaranteed the right to participate in guardianship and family law proceedings (Grover, 2015; Martinson & Tempesta, 2018). Children’s rights to participate are in line with the UNCRC’s recommendations and FLA’s best interests provisions (Dundee, 2016), and work to safeguard and prioritize children’s voices and preferences about their own well-being.

Recommendation 18:
Children are often not informed about their participatory rights in family law and in child welfare proceedings. Yet the UN Committee General Comments conclude that receiving this information is essential to implementing participation rights. The CBA 2020 Report recommends that in all cases where courts formally assess children’s best interests, children should be meaningfully informed about their participation rights, including their right to independent legal representation.
