Thank you very much for that thorough answer.
I want to switch gears really quickly. This is a question to both of the witnesses. It deals with the question of workforce and labour shortages.
According to a recent Aerospace Industries Association survey, only about 24% of workers in aerospace are women, and about 8% are Black. The International Aviation Womens Association did a similar survey that found similar results. I'm sure that the situation is not that much different here in Canada. One of their conclusions in that survey was that “the aviation industry is not sustainable if more than 50% of the population doesn't see aviation as a successful career”.
I want to ask both of the witnesses how your organizations are helping to recruit and retain more women in the aerospace sector. How can Canada help the aerospace sector develop a more diverse workforce?
