The policy research fund as a subsection of the Status of Women general operating has been altered. That doesn't mean there are no plans or opportunity for the Status of Women to undertake research. It does mean that Status of Women has restructured itself and is developing an internal capacity to identify meaningful research--research that is identified as having to be done. Consequently, there is a capacity for research, but it is going to be managed and focused for specific purposes that will show results and that will help the Status of Women and the government in its work.
