Mr. Chair, as is the case for all departments, our objective is to be at 17% by 2020. The challenge and the reality we have, which people may not always appreciate, is that we have a very significant fleet of heavy equipment, which includes, for example, the snowplows for the Trans-Canada Highway and so on. For those, we take the best of class when we purchase. Those have long life cycles, so as we replace them.... We are doing our share, and in fact we were recognized three years ago for federal leadership in that field.
