Thanks, Mr. Chair. Not quite sure what to make of that response. I was hoping for something with a little more teeth perhaps or a little bit more leadership whereby we could actually have a policy in place, much like we have the affirmative action policy for hiring staff, whereby there might be some minimum qualifications set for the duties for the various boards. If people meet the minimum qualifications, and there are not enough women on them, automatically a woman who meets the minimum qualifications gets the appointment. That is the kind of leadership I was expecting to hear. Can I ask the Minister if he is prepared to develop of policy on this to promote appointment of women to boards, so that they can get the experience to get more involved in politics just as our mandate has said that we would do? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
