I would say that with the Canadian Gender Budgeting Act, which has been in force only since 2018, there has been significant change in terms of the department's GBA requirements in its proposals. I would say, though, that Women and Gender Equality Canada does not participate directly in the budget process. We work with our colleagues at the Department of Finance, and in fact, their capabilities, their confidence and the rigour that they are expecting are increasing. We will expect to see a higher threshold that is enforced more by the central agencies than by us, but we are certainly hearing that.
