The ration of men to women in the Liberal caucus is approximately 5:1. The ratio of men to women in Stephan Dion's new caucus committees is approximately 7:1. The ratio of men to women contesting the leadership of the Liberal party in 2006 was 7:1.
I suspect Stephan Dion's decisions surrounding his caucus committees were closely connected to that last statistic. If the Liberals don't field 103 female candidates in the next election, then there'll be reason to worry - for now, everyone sit tight and keep an eye on Marlene Jennings.
