Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to add that the Auditor General's report has led to the adoption of relevant measures by the agencies responsible for developing policies as well as the departments.
I would say that the action plan that is being developed will include a broader range of activities than before and that our agencies' commitment to following up and producing reports will be very important. That had not really been done in the past.
The Prime Minister and the government have made gender-based analysis a priority. When she sits at the Cabinet table, the Minister of Status of Women has the opportunity to put forward this perspective during discussions or the development of policies. And so I believe that this action plan will bring about improved results and will allow the departments to demonstrate their commitment.
