I must say that in the last year, and you will see that from our response to the standing committee report, a lot of effort has been put into making sure the central agencies, which are really key to holding departments accountable, are playing a key role in making sure that gender-based analysis is implemented on policies and programs. When I talk about central agencies, I mean the Privy Council Office, which has a challenge function when they look at MPs and when they look at the programs and legislation that's coming about. I'm talking about Treasury Board, and I think our response quite describes the kinds of roles they've begun to play, as well as the Department of Finance.
This is something new. I think the committee has been very effective since its inception in holding the feet to the fire of those central agencies, which are really the key. And if you look at the expert panel report, they are the key to making accountability work.
Now, you ask me, do all departments do that? No. But with the help of the central agencies and with the help of Status of Women Canada in providing the tools and providing expertise, I think we will build on the results. Our focus at Status of Women will be to focus on the government priorities. And the minister mentioned the economic situation of women, aboriginal women. Those are the kinds of things that we will be focusing on. We're really pleased at the progress that was made last year; that continues with central agencies in order to build in more accountability, which was greatly needed.
