The Privy Council Office has a role in two main areas. The first is providing the framework and guidance for developing memoranda to cabinet, which include a gender-based analysis component. The Privy Council Office, working with Status of Women, has informed how that gender-based analysis should be undertaken.
In applying its challenge function to the policy development process, the Privy Council Office also provides guidance and questions to departments as that policy development analysis is under way. At the Privy Council Office, we have a very high rate of completion on gender-based analysis training.
