Status of Women Canada is not limited to the Women's Program. We have one branch that deals with policy and provides advice on gender-based policy. We also have a research branch, and a gender-based analysis branch. In addition, we have Corporate Services, Communications Services, a department that looks after consultations and communications, and we have the instigators—or promoters, if you prefer—of Women's History Month, International Women's Day, and the Governor General's Awards in Commemoration of the Persons Case. Status of Women Canada does not only deliver grants and contributions.
