Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. McDonald, one of the things that has come out very strikingly in your testimony is that it's not a pipeline problem when it comes to women on boards and in senior corporate management. That's not a truth universally acknowledged, so it's great to hear you say that.
There are women who are not being appointed to those positions of power. Is there an opportunity for the government to use its leverage as a major client and procurer to help break through this?

Can having women on the list be part of the comply or explain regime that you'd be in favour of?

You've thought about this a lot. Do you have a figure in mind that you think should be the comply or explain threshold, a percentage of women on boards that we should be aiming for?

Ms. Archer, I'm particularly grateful that you got up so early in the morning in Edmonton to be with us.
We heard from Ms. McDonald about the importance of entrepreneurship and the difficulty that women have getting access to capital. In the trades that you're helping women break into, something that can be very powerful for women is to go from being a skilled tradeswoman employee to running her own small business and maybe large business. Do you see women in the trades making that transition and what are the barriers if they're encountering any?

What are the particular hurdles? Is it what we're hearing from Ms. McDonald, that it's just harder for women, that they're just not taken as seriously?

We've been talking with Ms. McDonald about some kind of comply or explain. Financial services are highly regulated. In exchange for regulation, it's very legitimate for governments to require some real openness about what they're doing.
Would you be in favour of some kind of need to stipulate specifically how many loans are being given to women entrepreneurs?

First of all, thank you, everyone, for having me here with you. As you probably all know, Frank is at Vimy Ridge, so he has asked me to sit in. Thank you for that privilege. It's been really fascinating.
Thank you, Derryk and David. I've learned a lot from listening to you.
I've been really interested in particular, Derryk, in this point you have made a few times about the need for more of a bottom-up approach.
Can you speak to—and maybe, David, you will have some comments on this too—some systematic ways we could build that bottom-up approach into the whole policy?

To follow up on that, Derryk, do you think that, for example, as part of this transitioning, people should begin their job search and that sort of thing before they go?

David, you've done that transition very recently. Do you have any more thoughts on how we could actually act on this bottom-up approach?
