Excellent.

I spoke the other day on Bill C-25, which is the corporations act. They are changing a variety of things like that.

When developing this sort of legislation that has to do with women on boards, was Status of Women part of that preamble so this legislation could be created? It really does have the GBA+ portion that needs to be looked at, so I am wondering if you were incorporated in those discussions on that legislation. It does include women on boards as a big part of it.
