There used to be. Treasury Board used to have an actual training program for procurement designation. Treasury Board may want to look at that again. I believe they disbanded that a year or two ago, maybe in 2021. It might be worth insisting that it become a mandatory program, but not just for PGs. I want to make this clear—not just for PGs. It would be good for managers who actually deal with contracting, because a lot of what we learn as PGs is that most of the issues are in the contract management stage.
