It's very much the way my colleague at TBS explained it. We play a challenge function role. We're there to make sure that the policy proposals that come forward have gone through a thorough analysis and have been looked at not just through the GBA lens but with the various factors that need to come into play.
Early in the process, if we think that some of that analysis hasn't been done, we can ask the department to do it. If we don't think it's done and it's ready to go, we can recommend to the department that we push the item off to a later agenda. That gets the minister engaged and gets senior attention to the issue so that we can look at it.
