The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Nov. 28, edition that B.C. Premier Christy Clark is disappointed that positive examples set by Crown corporations regarding fair gender representation have not filtered into the private sector. The Globe's Justine Hunter and Sunny Dhillon write that the women account for just 6.6 per cent of board membership at the top 100 public companies based in British Columbia. Ms. Clark, however, says she will not advocate for new standards adopted by seven other provinces that require companies to disclose policies for improving the number of women on boards. Goldcorp, which has two women on its 10-man board, said it would not support the adoption of quotas for its diversity policy. It said it recognizes the benefits of employee and board diversity, but employees and directors will continue to be recruited based on their ability and contributions. First Quantum Minerals, which has no women on its nine-man board, and Canfor, which has no women on its eight-man board, did not respond to requests for comment despite repeated attempts.
