Supplementary Information tables 2023-24

Supplementary Information tables

Gender-based analysis plus

Introduction

In 2018, Parliament passed the Canadian Gender Budgeting Act. The departmental plans and departmental results reports are being used to fulfill the President of the Treasury Board’s obligations to make public, every year, analysis on the impacts of expenditure programs on gender and diversity.

Each organization is responsible for conducting their own Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus).

The Policy on Results indicates that Program officials, as designated by Deputy Heads, are responsible for ensuring data collection for meeting policy requirements.

Applicability

All organizations must complete GBA Plus supplementary information tables in departmental plans and departmental results reports on an annual basis.

Section 1: Institutional GBA Plus governance and capacity

Governance

CAS is implementing GBA Plus to strengthen the systemic integration of sex, gender and diversity considerations into its initiatives, departmental culture and operations.

Capacity

In 2023‑24, CAS

• Used GBA Plus analysis to support the development of responsive and inclusive policies, programs and initiatives including ensuring our facilities modernization program is inclusive and eliminates any physical barriers that would prevent or diminish the ability of Members of the Courts, litigants, employees, and Canadians from fully participating in the judicial system.
• Integrated GBA Plus analysis into Cabinet proposals and submissions to the Treasury Board to strengthen these proposals and their outcomes.

Human resources (full-time equivalents) dedicated to GBA Plus

During the 2023‑24 fiscal year, 0.25 full-time equivalents were dedicated to GBA Plus, or engaged with GBA Plus, at CAS. Primary activities were preparing, reviewing or signing-off on GBA Plus content in Memoranda to Cabinet and Treasury Board Submissions.
