I do want to make one distinction. I'm not asking for empathy for the janitors. I'm asking for justice for the janitors, which is a little bit different.
There have been some conversations, at least according to the briefing notes that we have here, around procurement as it relates to different companies that have played key roles, and they've been identified on this call. There's one that I can recall, AMD Medicom. According to a media report, the federal government will fund the facility's start-up costs. We're hearing a lot about masks and shields, but we know that public health is going in the direction of swabs and testing.
There is a company right here in Hamilton called Designated Medical, which has the ability to get in and potentially create 20,000 swabs a day within a week's time. Is your department looking at ways for direct investments in these start-ups so we can get companies like Designated Medical to come online and start with the mass testing? I think the generally acknowledged principle is that in order to get through this, we're going to have to start doing some mass testing.
