In fact, it goes beyond even looking to other countries. Even jurisdictions here in Canada have been very helpful in terms of sharing what they have learned.
If I start with green procurement, I would say that we did a lot of work in particular at looking at what other jurisdictions were doing, and certainly this idea of looking at the whole life cycle of the product was a characteristic across other jurisdictions that were successful. That's certainly one thing that we adopted.
We knew we had an extra advantage in that the Government of Canada was consolidating its commodity management processes. That helped us there. But we also have a committee that we co-chair, as the federal government, with all of the provinces, looking at what various jurisdictions have found in terms of the technologies that they're looking at in their buildings, the approaches they're taking.
You might have seen in some of our sustainable development strategy that we are looking for a sustainable building policy. Well, in fact, Manitoba is the jurisdiction that's come along as one of the fastest in developing that, and so that is something we have taken from a good idea that they had and we're taking it forward.
