Thank you very much.
I'm going to move on to the thought. Dr. Cavaghan, you mentioned that you feel there is an undermining flow against this becoming successful.
Professor Hankivsky, I'm looking at this whole thing and I understand why we're having this issue, but I think the biggest issue we have here is about the communication. I believe most Canadians would want to see there be gender equality based on either your sexual orientation or anything like that, as well as your race—a variety of different things. Instead of sitting there and thinking that it's potentially the political will or things like that, we could be doing things better by just communicating, because I think when we talk about GBA, we hear gender. Even on the gender analysis that I had to do on the computer, the first question I was asked was your gender, male or female. Right there it's showing the ignorance and the “Wow, we just took a whole thing on gender, and I just said that I was a female.”
That was not the question. The question should have been what my sex was. I think we have a huge communication problem here and that we as parliamentarians, as well as the people doing the GBA+, have to make it sound that it's not gender, because the problem is that we've put out there the idea of gender being male versus female, and it truly is not so when we're trying to do this GBA+.
What would you say we need to do? How can we go forward with making sure that our departments and Canadians know this is not what it's about, because we have marketed it the wrong way for probably the last 20 years?
