On gender-based analysis, if I may, Yasmin, one thing that makes a huge difference is ensuring that women are at the decision-making table. It means, for instance, having a gender-balanced cabinet. I can tell you that this is the second time I have had the opportunity to serve in a cabinet, and in both cases the argument made for having more women at the table was often that it is good for women. In fact, I don't think that is the best argument. The argument I make is that you actually create better decisions, because when you have diversity at the table, you bring people with different perspectives. When we discuss policy issues at our cabinet table, gender-based analysis is inherently part of what we do on an ongoing basis. Within government, we are seeking to structuralize that.
