In addition to the Public Health Agency of Canada, the made-in-Canada efforts that ISED was undertaking to make sure that Canadian businesses were able to provide domestic supply, whether it was ventilators, masks or gowns, were a very important part of our government's efforts.
The ventilators and companies that were chosen were as a result of an ISED competition that it launched. These suppliers were chosen as a result of that competition. After that competition occurred, run by ISED, PSPC stepped in to support the contracting in the final instance.
