Mr. Chair, that is a good question. The government's goal is to try to increase diversity across ethnocultural equity-seeking groups. I would say that, over the course of the government's tenure, they have done quite a good job in increasing diversity. We are at about gender parity in terms of positions across the Governor in Council community. We are at about 17% visible minorities, 6% persons with disabilities and 8% indigenous Canadians, so it's quite good in terms of representation across the GIC community.
In this particular case, the legislation specifically requires that the board be representative of men and women. It absolutely would have been a goal of the selection committee at the time to make sure that they had men and women represented, as well as a cross-section from individuals across the country, which is also a requirement under the SDTC foundation legislation.
