That's not something we have considered. We would need to make assumptions as to who will be employed in the shipyards that will be building the ships, as well as the military personnel who will be on board the ships, and it would be difficult to make these assumptions in 2022 for a program that will span 65 years. We can assume that the composition of navy personnel on board these ships, for example, will remain predominately male, but beyond that, whether females will make up an ever-increasing part to the point where there will be parity and whether it will include other traditionally disadvantaged groups in Canadian society is very difficult to estimate. I think Department of National Defence officials would be in a better position to answer that type of question, taking into account their own plan for inclusion and recruitment purposes.
