I would just make the distinction that the department is not directly involved in procurement. That's obviously under the care of another ministry, but we certainly have used criteria to ensure that the work we've put forward into our own programming and those in the portfolio would lead to the outcomes that Canada was seeking.
I would say, first of all, that in evaluating proposals, the main question was timeliness and the ability of companies to deliver and to provide a complete supply chain response. Given the tightness in markets around the world, it was very important for us to deliver on domestic capacity in respect of the full supply chain. We were also interested in the speed with which the response could be mobilized. That was very important, particularly when we evaluated the number of proposals for ventilators to be built in Canada.
All this work turned on delivering on time and to a specification that we have as low a risk as possible of having the overall supply chain fail to deliver the goods, which is really the purpose of having a made-in-Canada effort running in parallel to our international procurement effort.
