With regard to personal protective equipment, when we reach out to companies we are asking them for more information, including the question you just asked, which is where their supply base is, whether it's domestic or international. We're obtaining as much information as we can and we're recording all that information, including a company's business number, whether it has the required medical device establishment licence, and what kind of products it has. We also give companies the opportunity to confirm that the products they are looking to sell conform with the standards established by Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. That information has also been made available on our website. We capture all of this information to be help our procurement team identify potential companies moving forward.
