Yes. One really resonated for me as I was preparing for today, having conversations with my colleagues, and looking at the data we collect with respect to our temporary resident business line. These are individuals who want to come to Canada as visitors, as students, or as workers.
As you probably are aware, nationals from some countries are required to submit biometrics—fingerprints—and those biometrics are collected abroad by third parties that we contract with called visa application centres. When we were developing the approach to implement biometrics abroad, a GBA was applied during the development process, and what was uncovered through that work was the need to be very conscious of the intersection between gender and race in the collection of those biometrics.
That was fed into the call for proposals and ultimately resulted in the following. If a woman goes into a visa application centre, she can request that her biometrics be collected in a private space and by a same-sex operator, if for religious reasons she would prefer that.
