I would say it's both. For example, in 2007, when we recognized that the data were not being collected as they should have been against procurement contracts and IP contained therein, we started to address that jointly. I think it helps to have a joint approach, because we use our interdepartmental networks to get the message out. For example, we have one that meets on contracting. Assistant deputy ministers get together to discuss contracting, and we can talk to them about changes to this policy through that forum. But there are also science and tech fora that would be chaired more by Industry Canada, and we use that, as well, as a network to help manage the issue.
