Government Operations committee In the context of your committee's discussion, it's a benchmarking system, the same as we have for employment equity in the labour section that looks after benchmarking. I just want to caution you on that, because we have really bad results in some of the federally regulated emp

Government Operations committee The diversification is going to occur through joint ventures with other companies, so the companies can grow. We didn't know how to put in footings for those towers.

Government Operations committee The companies will do it within the competitive bidding process. We've seen this. We're about to see Line 3 come forward.

Government Operations committee No, we've been applying it. That's how Membertou got its big successes and got all those contracts, because there was a requirement. Shipbuilding in Victoria.... It has been applied. The templates are there. They lost them.

Government Operations committee I'll give you the templates.

Government Operations committee What we found works best is to include a requirement for indigenous involvement, and guess what. Those companies find you. We did a joint venture in Manitoba on towers, on the big bi-pole transmission line. We put in the minimum requirement, and every one of the companies that
