So there's work to be done.
My other question deals with gender analysis. You mentioned that you have looked at 68 initiatives, and there is disparity between what the government does in different departments.
In 2007 we called you before the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, where we had finished a study on gender analysis. And in 2006...basically, prior to that, in 2002, Status of Women Canada started working on gender analysis. They went to departments and did the training, but once the funding got cut there was not much to be done.
Implementing gender-based analysis through the budget is very intelligent and economically effective, because other countries, such as Sweden and Norway, have done it. As you mentioned, it meets the Charter of Rights.
Would having a gender commissioner within the PCO be a better methodology to bring cohesion? Everybody's doing either some, or none, etc.
Secondly, you mentioned that Finance develops and implements policy, during which it carries out GBA. You said it uses a template. When I looked at the template that Finance gave us, it didn't have any analysis I could verify that helped women. The women who were reviewed generally earned 70% of what men earned. Some of the policies, like pension-splitting, were not verifiable.
Did you take a look at the template or the veracity of the template? What would you suggest?
