I would certainly say that I would agree with what you are saying. I think there are two ways certainly to move forward a process like gender-based analysis. You can have the hard controls like the legislation we have at CIC, but I think that equally important are what I would call the soft controls. I would say our commitment to values and ethics--certainly in CIC our commitment to employment equity and diversity--is a very important part, because we imbue that. We do a lot of training of all of our employees at all levels of the organization. The final goal is that this should be second nature, just part of the way we do business in Citizenship and Immigration.
