While the Department of Finance (FIN) has incorporated GBA Plus into its budget processes since 1995, there was no specific requirement for expenditure or tax policy measures to be linked with gender equality objectives. With gender equality and inclusiveness identified as over-arching policy principles by the Government of Canada, in 2016 FIN announced a commitment to introduce gender budgeting. A key feature of FIN�s approach to gender budgeting is that it builds on existing strengths of the Canadian system, in particular gender-based analysis plus. The commitment stated: �To ensure that the government continues to deliver real and meaningful change for all Canadians, it will submit Budget 2017, and all future budgets, to more rigorous analysis by completing and publishing a gender-based analysis of budgetary measures.� (2016 Fall Economic Statement: https://budget.gc.ca/fes-eea/2016/docs/statement-enonce/fes-eea-2016-eng.pdf )  In 2016, the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) Policy on Results, through its Directive, introduced the need to integrate gender-based analysis plus in program performance information and evaluations.   In Budget 2017, FIN released its first Gender Statement (https://budget.gc.ca/2017/docs/plan/chap-05-en.html). This was the first public assessment of the budget from a gender perspective. This statement provided a concise picture of gender in Canada by presenting key socio-economic trends and challenges. As well, there was high-level GBA+ analysis of all budget measures.  In Budget 2018, gender equality was a central focus of the budget and an Equality Chapter (https://budget.gc.ca/2018/docs/plan/chap-05-en.html) was part of the budget publication. This budget included gender equality objectives in budget priority-setting, improved gender-based analysis and data that was accessible to the public. Budget 2018 also saw the introduction of the Gender Results Framework (https://women-gender-equality.canada.ca/en/gender-results-framework.html). Canada�s Gender Results Framework (GRF) is a whole-of-government articulation of Canada�s gender equality priorities and goals with matching indicators to track developments toward these goals.   In December 2018, the Canadian Gender Budgeting Act (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-17.2/FullText.html)  was enacted, requiring ex-ante (i.e., pre-implementation) analysis of all budget measures (a report on the impacts in terms of gender and diversity) and ex-post (i.e., post-implementation) analysis of expenditure programs and tax expenditures annually.   Since 2018-19, departments have been required to complete a supplementary table to their Departmental Results Report explaining the impact of their programs on gender and diversity. The federal government targets its efforts at increasing reporting and data capacity and is looking at new ways to use administrative data to report on gender and diversity. TBS, for instance, has increased its capacity for horizontal analysis to measure impact of business innovation and growth support programs on gender and diversity.  In Budget 2019 Gender budgeting and GBA Plus became a core pillar. In this budget, there was a continued focus on results, and as such the GRF received prominence. Further to this, the GBA+ impacts of all budget measures was published in a separate Gender Report (https://www.budget.gc.ca/2019/docs/gba-acs/gbs-acs-en.pdf).  For the Economic and Fiscal Snap shot 2020 (https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/services/publications/economic-fiscal-snapshot/gba-summary-economic-response-plan.html) and the Fall Economic Statement 2020 (https://budget.gc.ca/fes-eea/2020/report-rapport/anx3-en.html#wb-cont) � Gender budgeting played a key role in the Government�s COVID-19 response and recovery plan. The GRF Indicators were leveraged to better understand identify the impacts of COVID-19, on diverse groups of Canadians, as comprehensively as possible with the limited data that was available.  Budget 2021 strengthened and expanded the approach to gender budgeting. GBA Plus analysis was presented in a Budget Impacts Report (https://www.budget.gc.ca/2021/report-rapport/anx5-en.html), which also integrated for the first tine a Quality of Life framework that was introduced in Budget 2021.  Budget 2021 also announced funding of $172 million over five years, with $36.3 million ongoing, for Statistics Canada for a Disaggregated Data Action Plan (DDAP) that will improve the capacity to report social indicators on a disaggregated basis.  Following the approach set out in Budget 2019 and 2021, accompanying Budget 2022 is a Statement and Impacts Report on Gender, Diversity, and Quality of Life (https://budget.gc.ca/2022/pdf/gdql-egdqv-2022-en.pdf). This report takes stock of where Canada is currently in terms of equality and provides a summary of the gender, diversity, and quality of life impacts for each budget measure.
