There were investments in higher education and research, which obviously, as a researcher, I'm going to think are a good idea. I think that I would just flag, for example, increased investment in the Canada excellence research chairs. This is a good thing. It's good to celebrate our researchers, but what we've seen with that program is that women not only do not receive those chairs but do not even get into the nomination process. It's not one or the other. It's not that we can invest in research and STEM, or we can have gender equality. I think we need both things. The issue is to both increase funding for higher education and for people in skilled trades, as this budget did, but I think we also need those proactive programs that are going to go in right now, today, and address the discrimination that's happening.
Attitude shift is crucial but it is generational. The reason I've harped so hard on the issue of the wage gap and discrimination in terms of hiring and pay is that those are behaviours we can fix right now. The attitudes are going to take longer. We've heard some excellent examples of the kinds of work that they're doing at Carleton to change attitudes. I love that they're going with parents and the guidance counsellors, the people who are influencing young people. But that is generational, so I think the other thing we need to do—and I would love to see more money in the budget for this—is really track where the gaps are, and then make sure we have carrots and sticks in place to ensure that, if you're identifying a gap in women's participation or graduation rates or completion rates, you are going in and doing something to change people's behaviour today.
