It certainly can be one of the elements that should be identified that needs to be overcome. We were struggling with the same result statement as well for part of the audit, Madam Chair. We did an audit in 2009, and when you look at the UN commitment that was made way back, there's been a lot of talk about gender equality. How are we translating an international commitment into action? We were taken aback as well in terms of the limited progress that has been made in this day and age, even from those who said they would sign up to implement the framework. A good number of them, six—that's working out to almost one in four—didn't have the framework in place. Then those that did haven't always done the analysis for the initiative properly.
What are some of the problems associated with it? We tried to lay down a few points for the government to consider. They should sit back and ask how come it's taking so long. Maybe they can look at some of the elements that the member referred to, maybe some of the suggestions we have highlighted in our report, and ask, if these are the impediments, what would be a meaningful way to overcome them? What's doable and what's not doable? Have a conversation and then move forward on this file.
