Sure. Luckily, I have a research assistant who used to work for the private sector and wrote contracts with the government, so she understands procurement in a way that I do not.
When we do this research, we essentially have a huge list of companies that we know produce really nothing but surveillance tools, and we dig through the open Canada database of government contracts above $10,000. This only gives us access to one or two contracts above $10,000. Anything less than that isn't reported and isn't available to query. Even then, the description of what the contracts are for is very generic. It's hard to actually parse through and see what is being used, unless we find it on ATIP.
To date, over the last three years, we've filed hundreds of ATIPs. Our response rate has been about 37%, so we have hundreds of outstanding ATIPs for hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of contracts.
