poor people should be on the board of directors

 @8TR7LCQfrom British Columbia  commented…3yrs3Y

I think a board of directors that consists of poor people is called a "union"

 @8CVDMC6Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

If a person is a hard worker and can do their job like or even better than everyone else have them on board, gender shouldn't be the reason you hire someone

 @8VSNKNGfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VRQ9T6from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Companies should not be able to see sex, age, background, only resume. Hire the most qualified

 @8MS74JBfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, I think the most qualified should hold that position whether male, female, non-binary, etc. But I think the government should do more to encourage diversity in gender and race in the workplace.

 @8SDYL6Lfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Diversity is important, but board members should be chosen based on qualifications and not based on reaching a “quota” just because they’re told to.

 @8HWVDSNfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8SWGJ5Kfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

yes. But they shouldn't hire people because they are women. they should hire women, because they are good at what they.

 @8R3WSNHfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8SGDSH4from Manitoba  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but the diversity requirement should be for all ethnicities, gender indenties, and sexual orientations.

 @8T3T55PConservativefrom Ontario  commented…3yrs3Y

I think that diversity of this form is tricky because too many conflate equal outcomes with equal opportunity. They are actually exclusive. In order to force boards to have a specific ethnic or gender makeup you have to hire preferentially to those groups and conversely you wouldn’t hire a equally qualified man specifically because of gender or race. This kind of diversity is racist and sexist for this reason. It’s nonsensical.

 @8SZCRTQfrom New Brunswick  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but the board makeup should be made publicly available and open for discussion/debate

 @8SYPXJXfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but when discrimination really happen in an organization, government should protect victims.

Gender doesn't matter, if the team is all men, then that's fine, and if its all women, that's fine aswell

 @8CQKQGRfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

a little shocked by the question...giving i figured the issue of women's rights were mostly a thing of the past. The most qualified of course...which could be either or equally

 @9ZKKRXNfrom Alberta  answered…7 days7D

Maybe. I think that it is good to push for that diversity, as women can bring different perspectives to the table. However, if the company has no qualified female representatives, they should not be forced to include them.

 @9VWNS72New Democraticfrom Manitoba  answered…1mo1MO

Depends on the board in question. You should not be forced to buy you should be made to consider them appropriately and equally to men if they are qualified l.

 @9VGR4J9from British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

I dont think gender requirement is the issue at hand It should be The board of directors HAVING THE MOST QUALIFIED IN THE POSITION NOT JUST BY GENDER.

 @9VC7DQBfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

It should not be mandated for women to be elected to any specific position, but there should be a framework put in place when deciding all members of a board that works to counteract any sexist-bias that may otherwise exist in this decision to give an equitable opportunity for both sexes to obtain a position.

 @9T6LHXR from British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

No, but there should be an increased awareness through meaningful conversation about social inequality as part of any corporation's onboarding process

 @9T4N8GJfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, so long as the person chosen isn’t to fill a “quota” but rather for their talents and abilities.

 @9SSDR6Vfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

the government should both support and encourage women on board, and women moving up in work, but to make it a requirement hurts the qualified

 @9RMDWZQfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4mos4MO

Corps should have to show due diligence to find the best people period. If that happens to be a white man fine. But there are way better non male/ non while candidates out there then have been given representation

 @9RLFFWSfrom Alabama  answered…4mos4MO

Try to diversify but maintain a high level of performance and qualifications and who’s best for the job.

 @9QSV5BHfrom California  answered…5mos5MO

I don't think it should be REQUIRED. I believe in diversity. Just choose the board members most skilled/qualified for the job, regardless of gender identity.

 @9LX8MD9from Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

No, it creates a scenario where a business could be punished for unsuccessfully securing board members or challenge existing board members based on minimum requirements. The requirement should be placed on transparency for board member selection so fairness of the process can be scrutinized.

 @9LLVK7Zfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

You need to be qualified, but not discriminated over your gender. You should not be picked over your gender, so men should not just be picked. Diversity should be included in work force.

 @9KQCS2Zfrom Nova Scotia  answered…9mos9MO

Let’s make gender invisible and hire people based on education skill ability and specific performance indicators and when needed a lens that is representative of the service consumers.

 @9KMMDSZGreenfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

I fully support diversity, but "requiring" women to be on the companies' board of directors is unnecessary. Anyone qualified for the job should be granted an interview.

 @9K727R3from Alberta  answered…9mos9MO

No, board members should be based off of most qualified, regardless of diversity, so long as it is being regulated that the company is not discriminating against diverse peoples.

 @9K6HR9Kfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, but i dont like capitalism or corporatism, if i had it my way, rich folks and all higher classes will be slaughtered off while there is no memory tracing of them, their family around them should be involved, at least deportation can be an option.

 @9JXW8SVfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

i think it would be nice to have some female representation, but i don't think that it should be a required thing.

 @9JSPMXFanswered…10mos10MO

No, it should be determined based on qualification but they should ensure that all workers are given the same opportunities and not limited from them because of gender

 @9JS8GNHfrom Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

It all depends on the knowledge people have, if the women have better knowledge then the man, then they should be on the board of directors

 @9HW52K8from Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Women should not be permitted in the workforce at all, with the exception of combat roles or sex work.

 @9HV74RQfrom British Columbia  answered…11mos11MO

No, as hard requirements lack flexibility for many real world situations, however they should be encouraged to have a diverse board

 @9H9B77Jfrom Saskatchewan  answered…12mos12MO

Everyone should have an equal chance of business regardless of age, race, gender etc... I belive thats its not compleatly nessasary but you should give people a chance.

 @9GNXXXTfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but that could also be used to address barriers of entry for women as well, such as harassment, racism and sexism.

 @9G7L7GFfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and no, If they are the best person for that position than yes absolutely, if they are not good at that position, then no

 @9G7D2DBfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

no, board members should be those most qualified and the government should not require diversity within private companies

 @9G3VTF4from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Personally, it does not matter to me who is in these board of directors, as long as they are doing there jobs with out bias, even thought that is impossible.. So, if having woman in these position makes it more far as a whole for every one than I see only positives.

 @9G2LKTKfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

No, but if there isn't any, they could investigate to see if there isn't a case of machismo going on

 @9FJSV7Dfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

As long as it’s clearly not an issue of discriminatory and or sexism, women are not required to be on a board of directors.

 @9FHNJS3from Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

men and women have different experiences and perspectives and businesses can profit and do well with that their products/services will help and grow society as a whole and not a single unit

 @9FFLRTLfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

 @9FFDPCRLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

If they’re qualified, yes. In a political sense, I believe workers should be seen for their skills and abilities, rather then their gender. Their gender doesn’t interfere with how skilled they are as a person.

 @9FD8NVYfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

 @9F9TL8Vfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Should not be required, should just be if they’re the most capable for the job, just like everyone else

 @9F7GVMQGreenfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

It would be more affirming if the company showcased that women are respected and welcomed without needing a requirement to ensure of their inclusion. "Required" sounds like an implication to say women are less qualified.

 @9F76VPBfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

More training should be given to women. Women deserve the training needed to get high level jobs. A company shouldn't be forced to hire women but they also shouldn't be able to not someone for being a woman.

 @9F4FF8Mfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, having more diversity in the workplace is positive but there should be careful consideration in c choosing females who is qualified to be board director

 @9F2XS9Mfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

I do believe that if a woman is qualified to have a position in board of directors, and she seemingly has more qualifications then other applicants she should be hired. Though, I do not believe that it is right to hire a woman into any position simply because she is a woman, that would be unethical to other applicants who are better suited for the job.

 @9D6R7J4from Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

It always depend on qualifications, skills and effort regardless of gender.

 @9D6GT9Bfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Board members should be the most qualified persons available, regardless of gender - and the government has no place getting involved in the affairs of managing private enterprise.

 @9FX7N8FNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I feel that each business should hire the people best suited for the position. To place a woman on the board of directors simply because of her gender and not her merit is silly.

 @9FM9QN9from British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

No, it should not be a requirement. However, it depends if they're qualified.

 @8SRCS7Jfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only if they 100% qualify for that position. Just as a male would qualify as well.

 @8TN4GLWfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8SRVSJTfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

They shouldn't be required but should get additional tax breaks for having a diverse board.

 @8S9MF9Qfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8N73CV9from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

They shouldn’t be required but they should have an equal chance to be put on

 @8TVTW9XPeople’sfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

If she's not crazy and way too self obsessed sure, but she really needs to know how to be calm in heated discussion. Please

 @8QTV7SKfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

As long as the people who decide who gets to be on the board of directors are not refusing to let women on just because they are women, I don't really care who is on the board. As long as women are not treated as less capable.

 @9CLJFYRfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

People should be chosen based on their qualifications, not based on their gender. However, businesses could be encouraged to treat men and women equally.

 @9BM5965from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

 @96LZ6W7New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

No, it should be based on qualifications, but more should be done to disolve boundries for minorites and impower them in the workplace

 @96D8MBBConservativefrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

If a woman wants to be on a board of director let her. If a woman does not does not bother me.

 @965XVJLfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only for businesses where representation would be good, such as health care.

 @95WSYH7from Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

It is inappropriate for government to insert themselves into private business like that, unless that business is applying for government funding.

 @95SJ754from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

 @95J9PVWfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

 @95F6BFYConservativefrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

I think the idea of a women being required to be on their board of directors but if some women want to be apart of their board of directors they should be allowed to.

 @9566Y5Pfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

while this shouldnt be mandated their should be an effort to diversify companies as boards and high positions in companies are often made innacessable to minorities and women because higher ups will appoint people more similar to them

 @952DT3Lfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

The board should consist of the most qualified members, gender is irrelevant

 @94VP9NSfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Take gender out of the equation, if they have the skills and ability for the job; they can do the job.

 @949CP74New Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…2yrs2Y

No, but there should be incentives for businesses to diversify boards. Incentivize, not mandate.

 @93W8ZTGfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

yes diversity is important however qualifications should also be considered

 @93QBVTZfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

yes, but only if they have the right qualifications not just because they are a woman

 @93MLQGTfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

No, the government should never require the diversity of private businesses

Equal opportunity. Not equal outcome. Equal outcome is the individual's responsibility.
