Thank you for the sticky floor analogy. I think that's helpful. We're hearing a lot of testimony along those lines.
I want to carry on my colleague's lauding of 4-H. I was a pony club kid in Charlottetown, P.E.I., and now, in my own community, both Gabriola Island, where I live, and Cedar, on Vancouver Island, have phenomenal 4-H programs. The participants are 80% young women and girls, and they are articulate, organized, and dedicated, so in terms of that youth potential, the skills they learn, and the dedication they show, I'm discouraged, on the adult end of things, to see women so under-represented in agricultural leadership.
I'm hoping that in a minute or two you can describe your big picture view of where those barriers sit and what we can do on the federal government side to try to remove some of those barriers to clean up that sticky floor.
