Just on the medical school comment, highlighting the difference, I've never been to medical school. I have, however, been to law school. We were talking about that earlier on, about the number of women entering professions, going to university, getting their degrees in law or getting their medical degrees, who then leave their profession because as a society we don't support their work, and the expectations from their profession are just not realistic.
If you're a young woman and you're a mother and you're going to practise law and work an 80-hour work week, you're not going to see your kids. Quite honestly, there's a huge pressure on young professionals when, as Hiromi said about having equal consideration to the life realities of each gender, we don't do that in our society at this point in time, to the economic detriment for women's' full participation.
With respect to what happened in the band, not having been there, I can't speak to that specifically, but I recognize full well that there's a history of many layers of oppression with aboriginal people in this country. I think that is a full backdrop. There's the whole question of women within that community feeling comfortable and supported in assuming non-traditional work, which could fly in the face of the community and would present some challenges on a personal level for those women in addition to whatever is going on in their lives.
We like to think we can ride in on a white horse and help people out in their communities. We need to be really mindful of letting those communities determine what's going to work for the community itself.
