I think that if the government got out of the way and you had market forces, it would just go to the cheapest alternative, and we wouldn't have that innovation to the same extent.
I'm trying to get this government procurement to help us in that innovation. We've heard time and time again here about how innovative technologies struggle in that gap.
Suppose you have a working model built. You know how to do it. You might have built one building using that technique, but you need help to expand. You need those orders to keep coming in. Government procurement would bridge that gap and allow these companies to grow.
Again, I come back to Structurlam because it's a company I know well. It's been slowly growing over the years. Sometimes they struggle. Sometimes they're working all day long. They would like to grow. They would like to expand. They need all the orders they can get, and government procurement would give that to them and to others.
We heard how Irving is interested in this technology. They've gone to Europe to look at the technology. I'm sure other big companies are doing the same because they see that this is happening. This would give them that extra impetus to do that so that we can stay ahead of the curve. Otherwise the market, just the inertia of the market, would hold us back.
