I think red tape reduction needs to be a number one priority. We consistently hear that and have for years. When we talk about the overall capital pool, it's been very encouraging to see more women-led VCs enter the space. I can think of a handful. I know my colleague Sonya Shorey mentioned a number who partner with folks like SheBoot. That is an important part of the equation, women writing cheques to women-led ventures. We also need to see more male-led VCs writing larger cheques to Canadian women, being that champion and that ally with their purse strings and not just saying that they support women and have one on their leadership team.
