Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for joining us. Your presentations are very informative.
We've been talking about contracts for the past while. I have a list here from a Government of Canada site. It's in “Table 3: N95 respirators.” Currently, only two companies out of 23 are named. The others are simply referred to as Company A, B, C, D, and so on. The contracts are worth $91 million, $35 million, $69 million and $158 million.
Do you think that it's normal that we don't at least have the names of the companies?
We're told that the issue concerns confidentiality in negotiations. I understand that. However, wouldn't it be normal to have the names of the companies?
I want to hear your thoughts on this, Mr. Cutler.
