Table 3 – Response to Parliamentary Committees and External Audits
Response to Parliamentary Committees

Towards Gender Responsive Budgeting: Rising to the Challenge of Achieving Gender Equality (tabled February 26, 2009).
 
The report contained 27 recommendations focusing on governance; research; infrastructure; integrating gender-based analysis in the budget process and the extension of its application; and accountability.
 
SWC, in consultation with the Department of Finance, the Treasury Board Secretariat and the Privy Council Office, led the preparation of the Government response to the report, which was presented to the House on August 19, 2009. In its response, the Government outlined the importance of gender-based analysis in the development and assessment of policies and programs. It also accepted the intent of the Committee report as to the enhancement of gender-based analysis implementation in Government and to increasing the integration of gender-based analysis within the budget process.
