Incorrect info?

Article says: "As of 2018, McAskie is a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.[5] She is also a director of CANADEM,[4] and a director of Pearson Peacekeeping Centre.[6]"

But I could not corroborate either of the first two assertions from the references provided. She is definitely not a Director of CANADEM (https://canadem.ca/home/board-of-directors/) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mfolkerson (talk • contribs) 12:31, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding reference number 5, the source text can be located at page 80. I have added the page number in the citation to avoid confusion.
Based upon the coverage of McAskie, I believe that she could have been a director at one point. I have emailed CANADEM, so they can provide additional information.
