Thank you so much, Mr. Ste-Marie.
It's really remarkable, and I'm so proud to be a Canadian right now, because businesses have stood up to add to the fight against COVID-19 by retooling their shops in order to produce PPE and the necessary equipment and supplies that we need during this period.
Wearing my other hat as the international trade minister, I have been working steadfastly with partners in G7 and G20 countries, like-minded countries, through organizations like the World Trade Organization to ensure that supply chains remain open, particularly around medical supplies and key agricultural products, so that we can get the supplies into our industries and to Canadians. It's really important. Over 5,000 companies have stood up in our made-in-Canada strategy to help us all through this crisis with the production of equipment.
With respect to the restart to the economy, COVID-19 has been experienced differently in different parts of the country, so as expected, you see restarts taking place with a different phasing approach in each of the territories and provinces—probably just slightly differently. The federal government has been working with jurisdictions to make sure that we're taking a coordinated approach so that we are doing this restart carefully, with the health and safety of Canadians at the forefront.
We've asked Canadians, including ourselves, to make enormous sacrifices in the effort to flatten the curve and to help make sure that the health and safety of Canadians is our top priority. A lot of sacrifices have been made, and certainly businesses have been impacted because of this. This restart is going to be done in coordination and collaboration, and we're going to do it while supporting our businesses as they go through this.
With respect to the specifics around mobilization, I don't know if my deputy wants to add to that.
