Yes and no. If, for example, the employment insurance people submit a Cabinet memo to the Privy Council Office and the latter sees that the memo doesn't contain a gender-based analysis, the people who prepare that memo will be questioned. If they meet the Privy Council's requirements, then knock on the Treasury Board's door to request funding, but the Treasury Board finds that the potential impact on women is not clearly visible in the memo, the Board will ask those people to go and redo their homework. That's the beauty of the present system.
