Excellent.
Thanks very much, Madam Chair.
I'm going to split my time with Mr. Fisher, so if we could keep the answers short so I don't eat up his whole clock, that would be greatly appreciated.
First, I'm really interested in the idea of how we can better recruit those capable, competent women who are out there—and they are out there in great numbers across Canada. I was really interested in my colleague from the NDP's comment about needing to be asked to run.
We heard in a panel during our previous meeting that it's a more natural occurrence for men to just kind of assume that they're destined for politics and leadership, whereas women more likely need to be encouraged to take that step, even though they may be every bit as qualified to do so.
Ms. Grey, you gave some advice for potentially the women who is competent, who is capable.
I'm curious, Ms. Bernard and Ms. Grey, to hear if you have thoughts on what we could recommend to the government that they could do to help more of those women who are capable and qualified to come forward.
