Call it the Sunshine List So White and Male.
According to research done by CBC News, minorities are almost invisible among Ontario's best-paid public servants, showing a lack of racial and gender diversity among the annual Sunshine List's top earners.
The top 25 highest-paid public-sector employees of 2017 are all visibly white and only four women round out the list.
Of the highest paid people, Jill Pepall is the only woman to crack the top 10. She is the executive vice-president and chief executive officer of the Ontario Public Service Pension Board and earned $721,224.22 last year.
The other three women in the top 25 include:
"When we look at public and private corporations we don't see [diversity] reflected in the actual numbers," said Michael Coteau, the minister responsible for anti-racism.

Visible minority groups make up 29.3 per cent of Ontario's population, data from Canada's 2016 census shows. This number is expected to grow "drastically" in the next 15 years, says Coteau, and the province's public servants need to reflect this diversity.
"We need to make sure that we're maximizing that potential in Ontario and looking for ways to ensure that we utilize the talent pool that's here by combating systemic racism and looking for ways to open up doors and remove barriers," he told CBC Toronto.
"Within the government of Ontario, I know that the secretary of cabinets has been looking at ways to recruit people into senior positions that traditionally, in the past, did not get into Ontario public service."
