Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank my colleague for allowing me to ask the following question.
My question is for you, Mr. Ieraci. First, I would like to commend the work your department is doing to ensure greater diversity among the companies that will supply the federal government.
In the context of the current International Decade for People of African Descent, what is your office doing, particularly in light of the current crisis, to ensure that visible minority entrepreneurs, or those of African descent who can provide essential services and products to the federal government, have an equal opportunity to obtain procurement contracts?
