The pilot project has undergone a formative evaluation. That is an initial evaluation. The results will be posted on the website of the Department of Public Works and Government Services over the next few weeks. The evaluation found that the program supported the government's mandates and priorities, and that it seemed to be effective.
Another evaluation will need to be conducted in two years' time to confirm the program's results. We are currently following up with the companies that received contracts to determine what the results of our purchases are—for instance, whether the companies' capabilities have been increased.
