A) Are you sure about that? There's a few people still crying about proportional representation on the difference of a few percentage points that would be almost impossible to match up exactly.
B) The person asking the question is the one undercutting the validity by insinuating it's only for quota's sake. Trudeau essentially confirms this with his "because 2015" remark. Equality should mean the better people get their place on merit, regardless of sex, race, religion, etc. If that means its over-representative of women/men/LBGT/minorities/whatever, so be it.
Trudeau has the right position, said it wrong though IMO. Just ignore the question for what it is, a loaded, stupid question.
