Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'll start by highlighting that when I was first deciding whether or not to run in politics, I had to be asked a whole bunch of times. In fact, statistics show how many more times women need to be asked in order to fill these leadership positions. You know, there is the imposter syndrome that a lot of women deal with, including me, so I understand and appreciate why anybody would be encouraging women to fill important board positions and leadership positions, regardless of whether it's this situation or any other across our country.
I remember when Mr. Bains was a minister. He put forward a really important bill with respect to ensuring that there was equity within corporate boards. That bill that he put forward was one of my favourite pieces of legislation. Thank you for that, Mr. Bains.
Here is my question: Can you walk us through specifically what the process is? What does the process look like when somebody is going to become a part of a board? How does that process work? Then at what point does ministerial intervention or participation happen?
