That is precisely the question we want to answer. We are not in a position today to tell Canadians whether the situation is improving or not.
Allow me to explain what the committee means by seeking out the best talent. Given that the security and intelligence community has not made sufficient progress to improve diversity and inclusion in the past decade, we want to make sure that it has access to the best talent in Canada. Obviously, that means incorporating members of the four basic groups, so women, indigenous peoples, visible minorities and persons with disabilities.
The idea is to establish a baseline for study so that progress can be measured. In all nine organizations, senior management is aware of the recommendation, but no real initiatives have been operationalized at the working level. We need to make sure the work is ongoing.
