I can begin with some elements of the answer.
Thank you for your question. This bill is really to acknowledge the fact that more and more departments--and we have been doing this for a while--have been taking the initiative to collaborate among themselves to share some of the internal support services they need. It could be related to HR, finance, IM/IT, these kinds of services. The main reason for this collaboration most of the time is that we have small organizations that don't have enough capacities, and they prefer to regroup so they can share these services in a more economical and efficient way. We have an example of that in different places in the government, and we want to recognize that movement and give them the legislative authority to proceed with those arrangements.
It is true that there is an increasing demand for building new delivery mechanisms among departments to reduce costs and increase efficiencies for these internal support services. This will enable further collaboration among departments.
I'd just like to mention that it is not retroactive.
