Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for raising these issues.
We have integrated a gender-based analysis into Canada's budget process. This allows us to compare the impact that some measures may have on women, men, and intersectional groups, as each department is making its budget requests, so we can ensure that there are no unintended consequences. This will enable us to eventually achieve greater gender equality.
Taking a gender-based analysis into account in every budget decision makes this a historic budget in this area, and we want to ensure that this analysis will be part of future budgets.
