I certainly think it's important to encourage as many people as possible to take the training so that they are aware of the issue and they can understand how it plays out in terms of their own roles and responsibilities, whatever their position may be in an organization. Certainly at Treasury Board our focus is on making sure that the people who are actually performing that challenge function or developing policy have that training. That's our first priority, making sure that people who are actually doing the analysis on programs and policies have the training and are in a position to incorporate GBA as part of their tool kit in developing that. That's certainly our area of first focus.
