Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Kennedy, thank you for joining us today.

On April 3, the Ethics Commissioner outlined in his report that you meant to discuss making Palantir software available to the government on a pro bono basis in assisting with COVID-related supply chain issues. I know it was a relatively cursory meeting and that at the end of the meeting you indicated that you didn't think the software would be applicable.

Just so I'm clear, what would the software have done, exactly?
