We definitely know that we need to strengthen accountability and oversight for GBA, but I think the first thing was my appointment as the first-ever full Minister of Status of Women. I can tell you that I've heard throughout different layers of government and our political biosphere that having someone who is focused solely on gender equality is making a huge difference in terms of accountability. Before, a minister of status of women might share the portfolio with another file like labour or health—which, as you know, are massive files that can consume a lot of energy—and status of women would sometimes fall to the side through no neglect, necessarily, of that particular minister but just through the sheer volume of work that particular minister had with another weighty file.
Having a full Minister of Status of Women at the cabinet level drives change from the leadership place. It also provides that accountability to cabinet and government, because there is someone who is watching, essentially. I also have the support of the Prime Minister, who has been extremely adamant that the work I do and my mandate be taken very seriously; so there is certainly that, as well.
Also, I've been working with my colleagues to make sure their officials and ministry staff are also included in the oversight. At every level we have ongoing communication, whether through the deputies, the ministry staff, the chiefs of staff, or the senior officials.
I don't know if you want to speak a bit more about how you see that working.
