Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for Essex for her contribution to the debate. I very much appreciate the sentiments she was expressing in her comments.
The hon. member noted a number of significant statistics on the barriers facing women entering the top-tier professions, becoming CEOs of corporations, and so forth. Could she perhaps elaborate a bit on what she thinks are the systemic barriers that prevent women from entering these types of top-tier professions and jobs?
