Thank you very much for your testimony.
I was struck by the comments about where in the process this could be placed. Policy programs and legislation are long, complex processes that can take years, and the later it is in the process, probably the more complicated it would be to do an analysis. But at the front end, it can actually drive the design of the plan and the program. I noticed that the PCO representative, Mr. Linklater, did mention that.
Could you talk about the process currently? What is the process and where in that cycle currently does the GBA tend to happen? What do you think would happen if this were to be inserted earlier in the process? Also, if there is a chance, maybe I could have a quick comment from one of the departments if they've experienced doing it earlier and what that led to.
