I'll speak briefly as an introduction and turn to my colleague, Mr. Sobrino, who was responsible for the pilot and now for its current permanent manifestation.
It's a procurement program. The federal government, through this program, actually purchases the services or products that companies provide in order to meet the need expressed by a government department, a program, or an activity.
It is a competitive procurement process. Needs are identified by departments. The selected products and services are matched with the departments and their needs, and the payments are made, essentially because we are buying a service or product. By giving companies a first leg up—often it's their first big sale—so that they can say they have sold to the Government of Canada, it then allows them to market that product and that service to other clients, both in Canada and abroad.
Pablo, maybe you can give us an overview of the number of projects and the types, if that's okay.
