An internal survey of Government of Canada departments found that "fewer than half of departments and agencies have a GBA+ plan, with most departments saying they lack the internal mechanisms to apply one." Canada's GBA initiative was started following commitments by the Government of Canada at the World Conference on Women, 1995 in Beijing. During the 2018 G20 Buenos Aires summit in Argentina Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, “Well, you know, there are gender impacts when you bring construction workers into a rural area. There are social impacts because they’re mostly male construction workers. How are you adjusting and adapting to those? That’s what the gender lens in GBA (gender-based analysis)-plus budgeting is all about.”
