I thank Professor Todd for that. The shared island unit is doing work but it is a small team. Maybe it needs to be expanded.

I have a final question, which I hope the witnesses have time to answer. It is about expanding on the role of gender in constitutional discourse. The debate is obviously dominated by political parties, which can be quite male-dominated, despite the incredible strides made by women politicians and activists. How do we create more inclusive and productive forums for discussion that are more appealing for women and other underrepresented groups?
