Going back to you, Ms. Brumwell, you cited some of the factors for why there has been a decline in participation, with people self-selecting and not wanting to get involved.
This is not backed up by data, but my observation is that while there's work to do in Canada in terms of participating in political parties, getting involved and running for elected office, and although there are significant barriers, relative to many other comparable jurisdictions, those barriers are far less significant than perhaps those of the United Kingdom, for example.
Do you have any thoughts on that?
