Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here.
Mr. Macdonald, you started off talking about the budget and the GBA+ analysis that was done for the first time, and I know you spoke to other things. It's been suggested, even by, for example, the Conservative critic for innovation, science and economic development, that this is really just pandering to gender and intersectionality.
Can you elaborate on why it's so important from an economic—not just moral—standpoint to do this type of analysis in budgeting?
