Build on the first Gender-based Analysis of Budget 2017 to improve future budgets.

What success looks like

Comprehensive Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) is incorporated into all future budgets improving public policy.

Government's narrative on progress

The government continues to improve the quality and scope of GBA+ in federal budgets. This has included consultation with experts and key stakeholders during the pre-budget consultations process and meetings with experts and leaders globally. In December 2018, the government passed the *Canadian Gender Budgeting Act*, legislation which helps ensure that the federal government’s budgetary and financial management decisions are informed by and take into consideration gender equality and diversity, including ensuring that GBA+ is incorporated into all budgets. In Budget 2018, GBA+ was performed for every single budget measure and GBA+ information was included for the main budget measures. Budget 2019 moves even further, reflecting concerted efforts to incorporate GBA+ in the policy development process and provide a comprehensive summary of GBA+ by measure in the Gender Report.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
