Tender writers, specifiers, and procurement individuals are very slow to change. It's “we did this last year; we did this 10 years ago”.
We believe in the CO2 road map that I referred to, and we will be sure to get that to you.
Government will have to have a role in regulations and mandates if we are going to get to our 2030 and 2050 targets. We cannot let municipal tender writers or provincial tender writers or federal procurement people set the details. There needs to be vision and direction from the top down, from the Minister of Public Procurement, the Minister of the Environment, and the Minister of Infrastructure, that every dollar we spend needs to be looked at through the lens of climate change. Only when you do that will you see reductions in greenhouse gases, and generally at no cost.
First, employ life cycle, choose building materials that last the longest, then look at every dollar you spend through the climate lens. Finally, to Darren Fisher's comments, choose the best available technologies, like CarbonCure, and our new cement, Contempra. Sometimes it needs to be mandated. We're asking that governments mandate that new product because you will see a 10% reduction immediately, at no cost to Canadians.
