Yes.
In response to that, the clerk of the public service has made a commitment to really transform the way our policy community provides its advice and the speed at which we do that. Across the government we are seeing a number of innovation hubs arise in discrete areas. At Industry Canada, for instance, there's an innovation hub on small and medium-sized enterprises. We are locating one at PCO to take advantage of the fact that we are a central agency. And if we see work taking place across the government that has a lot of value, particularly if it can be replicated, we can reach down into that department and say, this is really good stuff and we think it should be used across the government or in other regulatory and security departments. Thus, the central nature of the innovation hub.
You can see how it has very much of a connector role in that respect. It also has a catalyst role. Again, because of the bird's eye view we have in the Privy Council Office, we can see different influences coming from different places. We can share that information in areas where policy innovation is needed. We've spoken a lot about the need to improve regulatory alignment. Well, it may be that PCO can play a catalyst role in that regard.
Then, finally, what we want to do is be a resource to all government departments in this regard. One of the interesting things about the investment we're making is that it's not a lot of money. It's a very modest footprint. It has been fitted up to the Workplace 2.0 standard, which is to say “appropriate to the use of public funds”. But anybody in the public service can go there and use the facilities. So it's very much an open space for public servants.
