Thank you.
EDI equity targets are one of the elements that are put in place based on the Federal Court order tied to the 2019 addendum.
I'll throw out a few metrics. When the program was launched, 14% of the chairholders were women when, in fact, in academia, more than 40% of the faculty were women. We have that metric because it's the only one that was gathered at the time. The equity targets have contributed to ensuring that the chairholders, as a whole, are representative of the Canadian population.
It goes far beyond the question of just ensuring that people have access to the program. There are other measures put in place to make sure that the universities are providing equitable environments, ensuring that the research can be done in a very good quality and environment.
