“All-male panel talking about virtues of women in security sparks outcry”:
Nova Scotia's former minister for the status of women says it "doesn't make any sense" that a panel at the Halifax International Security Forum on the critical role women play in global security did not originally have a single woman speaking about the topic.
"There are women leaders in security and defence in the world, and we know that because they've identified that and they're going to speak about that," said Joanne Bernard.
"So not to have those women whose contributions they're speaking about deliver that on their own behalf, or on behalf of others with the same gender, just doesn't make any sense to me."
