The answer is, clearly, we'll have to look at that.
One of the obvious ways it could be brought into the procurement process is through a specification that clearly identifies one of the characteristics of the goods or services that you want to buy. If you want to buy something more environmentally sustainable, it has to have certain characteristics. It may be that it will require a certain kind of certification to make sure it meets those requirements. These are all things we have done in the past, so there's definitely a mechanism there.
I would say, just to remind you, that one of the things—and it's a good thing, but it's an important thing to remember—is that PSPC responds. We provide the response to the request from other government departments about what they need. They're our client, and the more we can understand well in advance what our clients are asking for, the better we can really work with them to make sure we can find good solutions for them.
I would honestly say, based over many years, the more we can give a heads-up to industry, and especially Canadian industry, that this is where we're going to go, the better. You can tell them that if they are going to spend their money down the road in certain areas because they're looking for a change in behaviour or a change in product, let people know, or else what you do is penalize the market. For example, the first company might go from X to Y, and it may be very good, but it may not provide for a competitive situation in Canada. How do we make sure that we provide some insight? Advance notification would be very helpful.
