Acting Assistant Deputy Minister, Procurement Branch, Department of Public Works and Government Services

As I said, the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises is there to help inform Canadian companies of tender notices or procurement opportunities.

We're also carrying out other work, for example, to change our procurement systems and move to a digital and electronic system. In addition, we're trying to simplify our procurement processes as much as possible to encourage SMEs to participate.
