You have hit precisely on a point that I would like to hear you say more about.
As they say, since everyone can use Zoom, we can create outreach events, and we can adopt procedures to have a good atmosphere and for it to be constructive. I heard Ms. Clark, for example, say that it was important to ensure diversity. Personally, when I am sick, I am sick. I look after my health and I do not want to have to work because a hybrid model offers me another option for working.
With that said, how can remote participation ensure inclusion when informal conversations happen at after-five get-togethers like the one I was at yesterday with representatives of Quebec universities, for example, or after testifying at a committee? If I decide to work from home more, for example, I am going to miss out on these informal conversations. I am hearing about various benefits, but how do we counteract the disadvantages of working remotely, when we know that it will not be possible to adhere to the principle of inclusion?
