Canada's aid policies of the last 30 years have had a strong gender focus.  The current numbers are around 68% of programs having "some" gender focus.  The government is proposing to raise this to 80%, which can be obtained by recoding projects to highlight gender aspects (projects are coded into different electronic categories for reporting and statistical purposes), and perhaps having a minor increase in female specific programming.  But again, this is nothing new.  We have been doing it for 30 years or more.  The new policy is government showboating meant to lather up its supporters and antagonize everyone else.
