The fact that we've included municipalities in the government procurement obligations for the first time has meant that some changes have been made. We had extensive discussions through the negotiations with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. I spoke to them on almost a monthly basis, and one of the interests that they expressed was in making sure that they would still have the flexibility to favour local companies in certain circumstances.
Now the municipalities will have the availability to do their procurement however they see fit when they are under the thresholds that have been established under the agreement, and those go as high as close to $8 million. When it comes to construction services, they're allowed to establish environmental and social criteria that can limit it, and they can also include requirements with respect to quality, with respect to price, and with respect to local knowledge, to some extent. We've incorporated in discussion with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities a number of flexibilities that will allow municipalities to pursue their objectives with a considerable margin to manoeuvre.
