Thank you very much.
Thanks, everyone, for being here this evening or afternoon, wherever you happen to be across the continent.
I just want to follow up a little more on the theme of how we could use environmental and social criteria as a means not only to achieve important domestic goals, but also to try to access or provide access for Canadian companies to some of the work, not just at the federal level but at the state level in the United States, if we have common cause around.... I think that's one of the opportunities that some of our witnesses have pointed out, that the new administration in the United States is an opportunity to have more common cause around environmental and social goals.
What are some of the ways we might be able to mobilize those common goals in order to secure access to procurement projects in the United States under the spending that we're told is coming?
I know, Ms. MacEwen, you were speaking a little bit to that on the social side. There's a lot of talk in Ottawa and elsewhere about the virtue of community benefit agreements for public procurement. I wonder if that's one of the tools that might be used to define those social goods and how projects would achieve them. I wonder if you could speak a little bit to that.
