Absolutely, we are working with and have regular meetings with federal, provincial, and territorial officials, and then annually there's a meeting of the ministers. We are working on some initiatives together.
We also work very closely with civil society. I have regular meetings with and have met with many groups across the country over this past year to hear their concerns and to talk about how we can work together on specific issues.
On the international front, we've been working very hard to be more strategic in our approach to international interventions. We've shared learning and knowledge with other countries, plus we work with CIDA to assist other countries, particularly in the development of gender architecture and of training around gender-based analysis. In New York, for example, I had a number of bilateral meetings with other countries, including at a lunch where we met with seven or eight other countries to share ideas on successes we're having and on what works and what doesn't. Plus we receive about 17 to 18 delegations a year from other countries, with whom we share what's working and what we've learned in the process.
So very much so, we're big on partnerships.
