The department has tried to pursue gender-based analysis, and last year we were before this committee talking about what approach we'd taken, both at Human Resources and Skills Development and at Social Development, and we're now one.
We did have a session last June for all the new analysts in the department to discuss bringing in people from Status of Women and training employees on gender-based analysis. Then in January we had another session to pilot a course for analysts on using techniques of gender-based analysis in our policy analysis.
I'm thinking particularly of those of us who are working on the social development side of the department. On so many of the issues--whether child poverty or family benefits or seniors' issues--we have tried to be as sensitive as possible to the differential impacts. My colleague here, Caroline Weber, is from the Office for Disability Issues. When they do their report on disability issues, they publish the statistics showing different effects for women and men. So we're trying to do our best.
