Sorry to appear to be elusive, but I think I'd be more comfortable if advice or information on that were provided to the committee by the responsible officials in the area of procurement policy. It's best for me not to tread into their territory lest I get myself in some trouble.
Further, I think that if we were to provide advice, we would usually do this sort of thing with ministers considered in the debate, obviously, and government would make a decision as to what policies it might amend or change over time.
There are areas, though, where specific procurements are undertaken in terms of Canadian economic objectives or other objectives. I would point to the shipbuilding procurement under way, which was announced a number of months ago. It's a very significant project in economic terms, as well as in terms of Canadian expertise, innovation, and the development of the requirement to produce ships for the government's purpose. It's been directed in a fashion that's specific to industrial development.
There are cases where that's undertaken, but it's not the general rule.
