Sure. As I mentioned in my opening remarks, we are using a team Canada cross-government approach to procurement. In the first instance, regarding a new business that wants to produce hand sanitizer, for example, ISED is leading the plan to mobilize industry in the fight against COVID-19 and introducing measures to directly support businesses to rapidly scale up production and retool their manufacturing lines to develop products.
Amongst these measures the strategic innovation fund will deliver direct support to Canadian companies for large-scale projects. The innovative solutions Canada project will be helping companies commercialize products more quickly. When businesses are identified by ISED as being equipped to retool and to scale up production, they are supported to ensure that their product will meet the qualifications set by Health Canada. PSPC works directly with ISED to go through a due diligence process leading to a potential contract. It's a collaborative approach among government departments.
