I'm sorry, I must respond. The call for gender budgeting arose in 2005. We commissioned Armine to do a very detailed analysis of 10 federal budgets that were created under the Liberal government.
Just to note, I think it's easier for governments to politicize us, to accuse us of being political, when in fact we often act in the best non-partisan spirit possible. But it's you who politicize us and discount our voices because you think we're coming from a political place, and that's where dialogue often stops.
