I'll lead off.
I would just say that yes, indeed, the age credit is differentially more helpful to senior women, because there are more of them in that category. There are also other elements of it that are assessed, but stepping back from that, I think what we were asked to come here to report on is a pretty good story.
I checked the transcript of your last meeting. I went through it, and other departments like CIC and Justice have all reported that their best approach to this is making it integral to their overall processes. I agree very much with that.
The big step we took this year was to ensure that virtually every initiative that was even considered for the budget had advice based on a gender-based assessment, with most of it a detailed analysis. That's a big step for us as a department.
We had started on tax. Our colleagues in tax—Mireille and others—have done a great job. It's particularly more detailed and useful, I think, on the personal tax initiatives. It's harder on the business side or more general on the business side, but the fact that we had an assessment for virtually every initiative that was even considered for the budget was a very big step forward. Many of those initiatives, as I think Ms. Minna pointed out, involved other departments, so we've talked to them about that assessment and have worked with them. That is another important step.
We have a lot more work to do. The depth of analysis in other branches is not as strong as it is in our tax policy branch, so I think getting into the budget process with colleagues in other departments is going to help to reinforce the value of this sort of assessment, so that ministers can make the right choices based on an analysis that we share within the government.
