I want to be clear that there are more females in engineering today than there were 20 years ago. There are fewer computer scientists. But we've seen a decline of women in engineering since 2000 so that's one thing worth noting.
I think the “More Than Just Numbers” report set out a very strong conceptual framework without anything to support the implementation or the accountability. Whether we're talking about employment equity legislation, a national strategy around women in technology, or foreign credential recognition; implementation and accountability, I would say, are the big gaps. That's why I think there have been a lot of programs and a lot of good ideas but they've been very fragmented and there hasn't been the follow-up to say, okay, three years later, where are we? People will say we had brochures, we had events, we had people do this and that, but where are we in terms of our goals? I think that really, to move us forward on these issues we need not only the strategy, but we need the teeth and the commitment to follow through.
