Statistically? There definitely are more women in the workplace. There's no question about that.
You talked about your partner, your wife, choosing to work. I have to work. I'm a single woman and I have to work. Nobody is going to feed me. I love what I do, so I'm very fortunate, but I have to work.
I think the statistics we've shared with you have shown that with respect to women in non-traditional work, we're not making great strides.
I apologize that you don't have a copy of my brief in writing. You will have it.
In terms of statistics for women, this is using as finely distilled numbers as we can get from Treasury Board. Bear in mind that Treasury Board won't give us the specific numbers for the job classifications. However, 20% of workers in the operational category, which is our blue collar working group, are women. In the technological category, only 32.5% are female workers. That's in the public sector.
It's of note that the 32.5% is only that high because there has been a reduction related to attrition with older male workers retiring. Women workers, because of the work type, are newer hires, so they're not in a position to actually retire.
