It does the research with financial support from the departments. I have just started meeting with people from certain departments in Ottawa in order to round up the funds needed to update the Women in Canada publication. The last version is from 2005. I looked through it and was impressed.
It is really important to have sets of data that are comparable. Currently, it is difficult to discuss issues related to women because, for one thing, the data are from various researchers, various sources. And that makes it difficult to do a comparative analysis. We want to be able to publish an updated version within the next year. The response I got from the departments was favourable. They see it as a worthwhile tool, which will be instrumental in the gender-based analysis of the departments.
