Equal Voice is entirely funded by the private sector, except for the Experiences program, which is a specific initiative for which we receive Status of Women Canada funding.
There have been some conversations within Equal Voice about whether or not the public funding mechanism at the federal level to support political parties could be used as an incentive to ensure that more women run and win. Certainly that's been done elsewhere in the world, and I think it's worth looking at here. Could we use public funding as a way to encourage parties to run more women candidates and reward them for their success if they have success? It's something to think about.
