What we'll do at PCO is to require that GBA be done before proposals come in, and we'll work with Status of Women and the departments to make sure that the analysis is done before we get to see a first proposal.
If it comes in early enough and there are some obvious gender issues that have not been analyzed, we'll work with the department to give them some direction and guidance and make sure that the research and analysis can be done. Then it's reflected in the proposals that come forward.
As I said, we're also revising our checklist so that we have a more systematic way of keeping track of where there's good GBA being done and where it's not as good, so that we can follow up on those things.
Right now, we're also looking at our memorandum to cabinet template, which is still in the works. Right now it requires a number of things, like an environmental sustainability lens, an official languages lens, a charter lens, and a GBA lens. We will look at how we can improve that and make some parts of that mandatory.
