To answer that question, I have to explain our challenge function to you a little bit. When you develop a new program, there are a lot of things the department has to consider. First is the objective of the program and the timelines.
Maybe I will go back to answer your question with a few things I mentioned. Sometimes, our design around what we are looking for in gender-based analysis.... We set it up as an all-or-nothing kind of thing, where you have to do it before the Treasury Board approves your proposal, and we are finding that this is not working. That is where we think we need to change. It is not working if the government doesn't have time to do it, or we don't have the gender-disaggregated information because the program designs are so complex that you need to deal with two or three intermediaries before you actually get performance information about your program.
That is why, over the years of working on this, we have learned that we, at the Treasury Board, need to be a little more understanding of what it takes for departments to meet those requirements. We are looking at the program cycle, and if it is not done at the policy research stage, we have to get there earlier to make it better and to get our PCO colleagues involved so that it can be consistently talked about through cabinet and Treasury Board. Then if we still can't get it there, we have the end of the cycle, which is the evaluation. We are changing our Treasury Board policy to make that possible. We will be advising our department in that way.
I hope that answers your question.
