For gender-based analysis, for my role as the minister responsible and now around the table, you can rest assured that I do raise the flag and I ask the question through every policy conversation we have, where applicable, where gender-based analysis has been done. So this is something that is always an opportunity for me, which was not something that was always the same opportunity because you had so many different portfolios and different things to manage. So I do that at the cabinet committee table, and in addition to that we've realized, through the Auditor General's report and even through my own analysis and looking at gender-based analysis, that there does need to be some improvement made. I see we need to recognize what is the best stage to do gender-based analysis, and that's a conversation I'm continuing to have with my colleagues.
