Government Operations committee  Does anybody else want to weigh in on advice to government as to how we can leverage up into the broader economy by being a test bed for innovation or first users of new technologies, and creating economies of scale for inventors? Are there areas we should be aware of where we can maximize our impact?

Government Operations committee  Okay, excuse me. My question was different. It wasn't about a specific project. It's about government doing what we're doing, and how we can use that to stimulate innovation in the broader economy. Given that we're now talking about people, it's very important to building automation systems that the operations and maintenance have qualified people, and perhaps certifications that are standardized across Canada, if not further.

Government Operations committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses. I'm going to take this up a level in terms of the concept of greening government. One of the purposes of launching the centre for greening government was to have the federal government's activities towards meeting climate goals—through the federal buildings and fleets and other emissions—become a bit of a driver for the green economy, for innovation, and for a clean energy economy much more broadly.
