I understand completely, Mr. Cannings, but let me give you an example to illustrate my point.
In 2021, before the election campaign, I believe, a person came to see me. She was distraught because the Canada Revenue Agency was planning to erect a new building in Shawinigan, and the use of wood had been totally overlooked. This person, who is in the glulam business, was told that the subcontractors didn't have a wood culture.
If it's not binding, then, I'm afraid that people responding to government calls for tenders will focus on materials currently in use and won't make an effort to use wood. If we want a change in culture, I have the feeling that we will need more binding language.
I don't want to change your bill, but there may be a need for more appropriate language to make sure, at the very least, that people make an effort to use wood.
