"As a first step, the BlackNorth Initiative will ask corporate leaders across Canada to pledge their organizations to policies and specific targets to end systemic anti-Black systemic racism," Hall said.

The move comes after George Floyd, a black man, was killed in police custody, rousing worldwide protests against racial injustice.

"The time for passing the buck is over," Fairfax's Watsa said. "As business leaders in Canada, we have a responsibility to not only recognize that anti-Black systemic racism exists in this country but also take meaningful steps to end it."
