I'll let my colleague speak to the procurement side.
From a non-procurement side, from a design and construction perspective, I can only speak for the department, Public Services and Procurement Canada. I think culture is an element that spans across whether or not you're a federal public servant, so I think that is a reality for the department and others to consider as well.
That being said, from a design and construction perspective, we have to be objective and we have to consider one of the primary initiatives of GHG reduction. GHG reduction is achieved partially by the way we operate and maintain our existing portfolio, which is a very large portfolio. In terms of either renovation or new construction, it is by looking at the best approaches to the design aspects of those renovations.
Therefore, in theory, culture should not be an impact, because you, as a designer, are supposed to be looking at it objectively.
