I'd like to clarify one point because I had the chance to ask Ms. McIsaac some questions at the last meeting, and I went to talk to her afterwards.
With regard to the Royal Bank, if I correctly understood, the idea is simply to standardize the qualifications issue. Instead of saying where candidates have earned their bachelor's degree in finance, they'll simply indicate a standardized equivalence. In that way, there will be no lack of objectivity in saying that the University of Abidjan, for example, isn't really a good university.
However, RBC wasn't yet ready to adopt the completely anonymous CV solution, which would prevent recruiters from guessing the origins of the person by reading his or her name. We of the Bloc Québécois believe that this measure would have a second benefit, this time in terms of positive discrimination programs. When we conducted our consultations, a lot of people told us that, when they had obtained their positions as a result of a positive discrimination policy, they heard a lot of nasty comments insinuating that so and so had obtained the position simply because he was black and that another person did so because she was a woman, and so on.
However, by first sorting on the basis of qualifications and then a selection interview based on a form of positive discrimination, at least everybody in the business is aware that those who have gotten to that stage all had the qualifications to do the job.
