Thank you for your question.
I believe deeply, I really do, that we need diversity targets. I really do. The success we've seen over the years with projects in these fields, where women are so significantly under-represented.... If targets and diversity plans are not put in place, then it doesn't happen and women continue to be under-represented.
I guess I don't see these as social issues. I see these very clearly as economic issues. I believe that we need to be at those economic tables and that there need to be diversity targets. It needs to be part of procurement, as we have seen through our work with the Maritime link project, for example. It's a wonderful way of working with employers.
Women Unlimited in Cape Breton has worked with employers there to support them in hiring women on that project, and it has been very successful for the employers and for the women. I believe, yes, very strongly that it needs to be attached—
