“While the trend line is positive, this year’s Report shows how much more needs to be done. As half the population is female, their under-representation in corporate leadership means Canada’s business elite is missing some of its best potential talent. When half the federal cabinet and 30% of Canada’s provincial premiers are female, and Linda Hasenfratz is Chair of the Business Council of Canada (formerly CCCE) it’s time for corporate Canada to up its game. After all, it’s 2016.”
