In addition to, I think, the efforts and the steps we have to take to attract people from all sorts of diverse backgrounds, but especially women, into the Canadian Forces, we have to take a look at what we need to do as an institution to create the structure and eliminate whatever systemic or institutional bias there may be that will have people opting for choices that perhaps mean that staying with a career in the Canadian Forces is not something they feel they can do. Therefore, taking a look at our institution at the same time is also very important to us so we can ensure that everyone sees a path for themselves in having a career in the Canadian Forces.
