Okay. Give or take a couple of billion, there's around $22 billion a year in government procurement of goods and services. Right?
The thinking was, in our previous government, that the physician would heal himself or herself. The federal government would show the way forward for other orders of government, other Canadians, private sector actors, businesses, and so on, and would begin by tightening up how it bought goods and services in the marketplace.
Therefore, if I understand this historically, the thinking was that we would provide a major demand pull in Canadian society to change the way in which we did things, that we would drive up energy efficiency standards; we would look to lead construction standards; we would do a full examination of who we were buying goods and services from, and, for example, even what their green performance or sustainable development performance was. Was that the general thinking when we set up the system years ago?
