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

 @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.

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…3yrs3Y

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…3yrs3Y

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…3yrs3Y

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

 @8SYNX6Mfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

 @8KM7QR5from British Columbia answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but we should question whether capitalist businesses should exist.

 @8DPLVSKfrom Ontario answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @9T6LHXR from British Columbia answered…2wks2W

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…2wks2W

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

 @9SSDR6Vfrom Alberta answered…3wks3W

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…2mos2MO

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…2mos2MO

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

 @9QSV5BHfrom California answered…2mos2MO

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…5mos5MO

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…5mos5MO

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…6mos6MO

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…7mos7MO

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…7mos7MO

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…7mos7MO

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…7mos7MO

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

 @9JSPMXFanswered…7mos7MO

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…7mos7MO

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…9mos9MO

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

 @9HV74RQfrom British Columbia answered…9mos9MO

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

 @9H9B77Jfrom Saskatchewan answered…10mos10MO

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…11mos11MO

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…11mos11MO

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…11mos11MO

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

 @9G3VTF4from Ontario answered…11mos11MO

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…12mos12MO

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