It is unfortunate that the federal government is using such elementary school definitions of racism, prejudice, and discrimination.

Considering that the main thrust of the education about racism and prejudice is being directed at the children in elementary school (the formative years) it really should come as a surprise that the language reflects it. The link itself comes from a new iniative that has been tried in New Brunswick, to try and eliminate racist/bigoted attitudes before they take root; a iniative which will now be the standard across Canada for elemantry students (well except in Alberta)
I used the link because a) it's in my bookmarks for the kids at school (volunteer teach) when race and racism is discussed; and b) it's a good, quick introduction to the basic understanding of how broadly racism is applied in Canadian society.
