You can dig a pretty deep well, but if it's not where the water is located...

So, I got curious.  Went to Statscan to see where the "water" (i.e.: women in science/tech) was.  Here is what I found: 

"Women represent the majority of young university graduates, but are still underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and computer science (STEM) fields." and, "According to the National Household Survey (NHS), women accounted for 39% of university graduates aged 25 to 34 with a STEM degree in 2011, compared with 66% of university graduates in non-STEM programs."

So, perhaps the lady's rant to Presidents was misplaced. She needs to rant at female university undergrads, and say, "Hey, gals!  Do the Math!  Do the Science!  Do the Tech-and-Engineering! You're letting down the team--help boost women's numbers in research!"
