Thank you.

I want to begin by commending PSPC for its tilt and pivot towards domestic procurement on critical life-saving PPE. I know we heard in the opening remarks that something like 44% of the dollar values were produced in Canada, which I think is important. It is important to have domestic supply chains, as the previous speaker, my friend Ms. Vignola, pointed out.

I'm wondering about the dollar value. How much money would that represent going to Canadian firms on these 137 contracts?
