Thank you. The Member is correct; we do do exit interviews, but it’s on a voluntary basis. So this past year 51 people that were leaving the public service undertook exit interviews and one of the questions that was posed to them, and we gave them three choices as to why they left the public service, and when we asked them if they were leaving because of our promoting diversity and inclusiveness, 68 percent said that they were dealt with fairly and inclusively. So that wasn’t the reason that they were leaving. With regard to gender, I think we still have a long ways to go, but 65 percent of our public service are women. In senior management, 40 percent are female. Things have improved significantly.
