In last night's "debate" Martin seemed to indicate
that the Liberal party would institute an employment
equity policy in parliament. While I agree that
the percentage of women in politics is much less than
50% of the total number, this fact should not be used
to create new requirements for public office.
The next phase would then have to include every and all minorities. Employment
equity is NOT a solution to get minorities and women into politics. People with
drive, vision, and guts - money doesn't hurt either - is needed for a good
candidate. Gender, race, and religion should not enter into the equation.
