My last question to you, Ms. Trombetti, is perhaps not within your mandate or within your field of expertise, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Are there any mechanisms in the procurement process dealing with the quality of projects, not just the fairness of the bidding process? The area I'm particularly interested in is environmental sustainability.
My office is in the West Block. I'm going to miss it when I have to go. I love it despite its shortcomings. It has always seemed to me that there's an incredible opportunity there to make it a demonstration project through these renovations for environmental sustainability, with things like solar panels on the roof, either for hot water heating or for electrical generation; the opportunity, with the huge lawn we have in front of the Peace Tower, to do shallow geothermal, where we could do heating and cooling and make it 40% or 50% more efficient than other methods and show many of us across Canada a way, if we ever get our ecoENERGY program back, that could make things more sustainable.
Is that at all part of the procurement process, to ensure that the kinds of policies we give lip service to--to move towards lowering greenhouse gases and increasing conservation efficiency--are included in such contracts?
