Small businesses can be part of the process, but as all these organizations go forward, because there is a balance of businesses and consumers, standards often produce a baseline for purchasing. So, for example, when a group such as Public Works references a CGSB standard, it does it for a specific reason: because it has an existing definition, which is neutral and performance-based, and it fits in with our procurement direction, so we can then reference that in a competitive process.
That's good for us, but it's also very beneficial for the market, because as a document in itself, it gives clear direction to everybody in the sense of what we're going to buy, and it's an open document.
