Thank you for the question.
I'll go back to the report that was filed in June 2018. One of the comments we received from suppliers was that it is quite difficult for them to find contracting opportunities on the Buyandsell.gc.ca website. The good thing is that there is a lot of information on this site, but for SMEs, this abundance of information is problematic.
So we created an email notification system. When a company undertakes a search for goods or services that are related to their field, once they register, they receive free emails that notify them each time a new document associated with their field of interest is published on the Buyandsell.gc.ca site. This eliminates the need for companies to search regularly, if not daily, for potential business opportunities. Once they are registered, they can receive notifications.
I talked earlier about simplifying contracts and electronic systems, but I'll stop here.
