If we looked at gender equity in nominations, say, my worry would be that you might get women put onto the slate without really any recognition. I think where it needs to be is in the number of candidates who are actually put forward and running in the election. Because it's a kind of winner-take-all system, it seems to me that's where that really needs to be in place in order for it to have some kind of impact, and a real impact.
The real impact here is not just having women run, because we know there are sacrificial lambs already. The real impact is getting women to win. I think that's really where you need to see it, because what you want to see is diversity in the House of Commons, not necessarily diversity in the nomination slate. That would be my argument.
