Thank you, Madam Chair.
When the previous witnesses came here they expressed some concerns that gender-based analysis that is being done within the federal government is perceived just as another bureaucratic hurdle to overcome. Could you share with us how, in your experience, the GBA is perceived by departments and agencies? Also, in your view, what needs to be done to ensure that gender-based analysis becomes institutionalized in the central agencies and most specifically in government spending, revenues, and budgetary policies and processes?
