I'm not sure I can comment on departmental structure. However, what I do believe is that the Department of Finance needs to acquire some expertise in this field, and that probably means new personnel who are trained in gender-based analysis. There is a disconnect between the finance department and gender experts elsewhere in government. Those somehow have to be brought together so that the Department of Finance has the expertise it needs, not only in conventional tax policy but in gender-based analysis.
