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

 @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

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

 @8VMZSPXConservativefrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @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.

 @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.

 @9KQCS2Zfrom Nova Scotia answered…3wks3W

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…3wks3W

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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

 @9JSPMXFanswered…2mos2MO

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…2mos2MO

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…3mos3MO

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

 @9HV74RQfrom British Columbia answered…3mos3MO

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

 @9H9B77Jfrom Saskatchewan answered…4mos4MO

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…5mos5MO

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…5mos5MO

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…6mos6MO

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

 @9G3VTF4from Ontario answered…6mos6MO

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…6mos6MO

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…6mos6MO

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…6mos6MO

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…6mos6MO

 @9FFDPCRLiberalfrom Ontario answered…6mos6MO

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…6mos6MO

Businesses should be allowed to only have women, but not be against them.

 @9F9TL8Vfrom Alberta answered…7mos7MO

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

 @9F976D8  from Washington answered…7mos7MO

 @9F7GVMQGreenfrom Ontario answered…7mos7MO

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…7mos7MO

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta answered…7mos7MO

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…7mos7MO

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…7mos7MO

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…8mos8MO

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

 @9D6GT9Bfrom Quebec answered…8mos8MO

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.

 @9D36K4QLiberalfrom British Columbia answered…8mos8MO

Yes, but also have other programs to help empower women, such as affordable childcare, as well as programs which help everyone understand the value women's equality creates for society.

 @9CNVSWGfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

 @9CMDTGLfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

We should have women on the board of directors not just because they're women but because they've worked hard and are qualified for the job, but when given the opportunity to include women it should be required

 @9CLJFYRfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

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