Cost Estimate of Bill S-209: An Act to Amend the Department for Women and Gender Equality Act

The passage of this act would require the government to prepare a statement on potential effects on women for bills introduced in either House of Parliament by a representative of the Crown and all bills that are referred to a committee. The PBO interprets this to mean that a Gender Based Analysis+ (GBA+) statement, similar in nature to those included in the 2019 GBA+ Budget Annex, would be prepared by the government for all qualifying bills.
