Thank you, Madam Speaker. Good question. The honourable Member is correct, I did undertake to determine whether or not there was a policy with respect to the utilization of renewable resources by government agencies and others. Much to my surprise, the utilization of renewable resources was somewhat limited. I believe I did provide the honourable Member with a list of each department and what they have expended. I undertook to write to my colleagues who were directly responsible for education, corrections, et cetera, to try to encourage them to encourage their departments to purchase more.

We are in the throes right now of developing a policy with respect to greater utilization of renewable resources and I'm optimistic that we will be able to accomplish that in the coming months. Thank you.
