Canadian Heritage committee  Well, we have achieved parity.

Canadian Heritage committee  Five out of seven members are female. Then we have the ex officio members as well.

Canadian Heritage committee  There are actually four male because we have the two mayors, ex officio, who do attend board meetings, and they do have a vote. It's five to four, like the Supreme Court.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning, members of the committee. Thank you for inviting me to speak to this distinguished committee today about gender parity in arts organizations at the board and artistic leadership level. Debbie Collins has kindly offered to accompany me today
