Some pilot projects have already been initiated. Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec all have pilot projects under way. Radio-Canada actually did a great story on the subject recently.
It will take more than a pilot project or two to expand these kinds initiatives across the sector. It's going to take further research in various areas, commercialization and the ability to purchase basic equipment in order for the uptake of new technologies to spread across the country. It's going to take more than a few small pilot projects.
If you're asking me what it's going to take, my answer is this: a coordinated effort on the part of government and producing industries to find new technologies and invest heavily in those technologies, in related research and in implementation. It has to be a direct system-wide approach based on increased co-operation.
