Mr. Chair, in terms of support that we provide to various under-represented groups, including those with accessibility challenges, I'll turn to my colleague Clinton in just a second to talk about some of the things we're doing. We are undertaking a number of activities, as I mentioned, to be able to increase the participation of under-represented groups.
I will mention briefly the accessible procurement resource centre. It is a centre that we've established within our department to be able to assist procurement officers in increasing the accessibility of procurement in two areas. The first is for those using our systems, as well as those who want to sell goods and services to the Government of Canada. Also, increasingly, we are moving toward buying commodities where accessibility has been included by default in consideration of buying those commodities.
With the permission of the chair, I'll turn to Clinton to speak a little about what we're doing in these areas.
