I agree with that. I think it's probably best if you do the targets and goals by department. Again, no one is responsible for an overall government goal, or those who are responsible are so high up. I would encourage you to be...and maybe even get down to a particular building.
Once you've done your benchmarking, you should be able to say these are the buildings you want to focus on for the next five years, whatever buildings they are, and you want to have an annual report on the progress you're making; in five years' time, you'd like to see some end.... Here are the tools you can use, of which a performance contract is one, but you may have other ones. Again, I think a little competition.... This race to produce I'm involved with in Toronto with BOMA and with REALpac has really been interesting, and it's been fun.
People like a friendly competition. Mayors love it. I know MPs love it. You don't have to have body contact or anything, but I think you set some targets and see how ministers and ministries can perform, and as long as the rules are fair, as long as you're not pre-selecting a particular winner and making the rules so someone wins. So set your targets by department and make a bit of a game of it, because I think people do like that internal competition, and I think that's where it can drive innovation as well. Right now, it's everyone's issue. We talk about it, it's out there, but it's no one's real responsibility.
