That's a lot of words to not say anything relevant...

You're updating your verbiage and doin the quasi as feel good measures... You're establishing an equal opportunity czar, and some subcommittees... but what does that DO?

Have you codified affirmative action? Mandated preferential hires to move the aberrant % into general alignment with the population?

You cannot negate the cumulative effects of discrimination by being equal... It requires preferential treatment of the underrepresented demographics. You have to hire and promote the demographic, and yeah, sometimes it will be a less qualified person... It's the only way you succeed without it taking generations.

Break the eggs Canada. Ain't gonna be no omelette til you do :)
