With respect to succession planning, I sense there's a major opportunity here. I'm from Atlantic Canada, where we have an overrepresentation of seniors per capita as compared with every other province. This means that many small and medium-sized businesses have an owner who is thinking about succession or potentially just about retiring, locking the door, and throwing it away. There's a great opportunity, if we can inspire young women to become entrepreneurial and take over these businesses, to help achieve gender equity in business.
Are there steps that you think the federal government can take to help encourage gender-balanced succession planning?
