Résumé
The purpose of this project is to delimit the circumstances in which it is justifiable for the state to implement preferential policies in favour of visible minorities and to outline an approach to policy formulation in such circumstances. The thesis argues that visible minorities warrant preferential treatment in order to rectify past injustices and to redistribute advantages to visible minorities who are chronically poor. The thesis then asserts that "supply-side" over "demand-side" policies should be adopted. Supply-side policies are preferable because they tend towards the ideal of substantive equality by ensuring that individuals have a minimum level of subsistence. However, if the goal of achieving substantive equality is to be taken seriously, the poor should be entitled to benefit under preferential policies. Thus, preferential policies should target poor people generally and visible minorities specifically.
