Absolutely. We've taken commitments internationally to have a gender-based analysis to all policy development. It's a condition often of the international aid that Canada gives to other countries, yet we fail miserably to do that at home.
I didn't say so specifically, but I meant to capture that in saying a strategy must be developed with an eye to those groups that are most vulnerable to poverty, and we must talk specifically about women. We must be sure that our strategy addresses the circumstances of women. I think a child care program is a key part of a poverty reduction strategy for women. If we're sensitive to the needs of women, it means we are talking to groups that are representative of those women and that are concerned about women's equality, and we're certainly developing the strategy with an eye to meeting the needs and the concerns of women. Of aboriginal individuals, of persons with disabilities, I would say the same thing.
There is such a long tradition of Canada espousing the importance of a gender-based analysis and not doing it itself that this seems to me to be an obvious point and a clear commitment that the development of the strategy should make.
