I think what you've highlighted is basically at the core of what we're trying to institutionalize under the Impact Canada initiative, which is true codification of that co-design, co-development process, and taking a multisectoral approach.
I'll give you a perfect example of the meld of technology and social issues, and this is the government's response to Canada's opioid crisis. There are a number of planks that the government is rolling out to help stem deaths by opioid overdose. One of those is the development of a new technology for people who consume drugs, to ensure they are aware that what they're consuming is not laced with fentanyl or carfentanil.
You're right. In a traditional approach, government would basically put out the specs for what it thinks the right technology is and then procure whatever it is, irrespective of whether it's the right approach or not.
