Again, we want to make sure that it's integrated and that it's not in a silo unto itself. There are certain countries, like Afghanistan...and in fact, in Afghanistan we're doing a lot for women particularly. I wanted to be able to report to you that we are monitoring very stringently the rights of women, the laws, the legislation being undertaken there. But I want to make sure that it doesn't get isolated.
In fact, back in the early 1990s I was on the gender issues advisory board to the Treasury Board of the Canadian government to try to ensure that even within our own public service or in our crown corporations, consideration of gender and gender issues was not sidelined and put into a silo. So I'm very conscious of that.
There are activities to support women's human rights, etc., and a lot of the agriculture, as you know, is undertaken by women, the small farm holders, and so is the micro-financing.
I will say this. I think the women are maybe sometimes just as, if not more, entrepreneurial than the males. Our women's literacy programs are critical for us. When you support women, women will take care of their families. Their children will be better educated, better nourished, and they will receive better health care. It's the women who ensure that they have the food they need, the housing, the shelter, etc.
So I'm a big supporter--
