The researcher is a member of Status of Women Canada. She has the lead. She leads the interdepartmental committee. I would like to have her give you a sense of what you're looking for, because it's a very technical area.
You will have to ask our coordinator the resource question.
As for the manual, we have a suite of tools we use when we work with the departments to give them training. Indeed, we have a manual now. I might have to break my rule here. The manual is only given at the training and once people are trained. We do not provide the manual before, because people will then say they've been trained. We need to have them in a classroom context to really see them understand what we are conveying in terms of notions of gender-based analysis.
We do not do checklists. There are governments and even provinces that feel that if they're given checklists, everything's done. That was not the approach we took. We took the approach that we are empowering and aiding analysts to do a better job at what they do. The training is for basically adapting the entire process of policy development and program delivery and program development.
It is modular in the sense that it is in the area the client wants. For example, you would be a client. What area does the client want? I think Michèle mentioned last time that if you're dealing with communications people, they're not really interested in knowing the research side of things. We can appeal to those needs. So we have that.
We have little CDs that are self-tutorials. We have a performance measurement template so that people understand how to evaluate things at the end. So there's a whole suite of tools we use with the departments that we could use with the parliamentary committee.
