In 1995, the federal government made a Cabinet decision, required all federal departments and agencies to specifically implement gender-based analyses by establishing an analytical process or framework for assessing the potential impacts of legislation and policies on different groups of women and men. Today, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat ensures that departments and agencies incorporate gender considerations where appropriate into the design of policies, programs, initiatives, and services. Does our equivalent, the executive secretary or Cabinet Secretariat perform the same function as the Treasury Board of Canada in determining if policies, programs, initiatives, and services are in fact incorporating a gender-based analysis or GBA?
