Ottawa Liberal push to require gender based analysis across government
The Status of Women committee urges a mandate for gender based analysis across all departments and agencies. It calls for legislation by next June to ensure proposals reviewed by cabinet, Privy Council Office, Treasury Board and Finance reflect impacts on women and men, with adjustments where needed. The plan follows comments by Patricia Hajdu and Liberal MPs stressing policy must not be window dressing and must consider intersecting factors like age income and culture. Fraser notes infrastructure spending could boost jobs but favor skilled trades more for men, highlighting potential disproportional impacts.
