Mr. Chair, we have a brokering service at Shared Services Canada that qualified eight cloud service providers based on their ability to meet security requirements. They were qualified back in 2018. When a department needs to access cloud services for protection of new workloads, the eight have to compete as soon as the department passes over a certain threshold. Some activities will consume, over time, a lot of space and costs, so they have to go through a competitive process among the vendors that have qualified.
You mentioned Microsoft. We have other vendors such as IBM, Salesforce and ThinkOn that are on this.
You're right, MP Lobb, though, that right now among all the vendors, Microsoft is the one that has received the most demand so far, but this is, for most of it, as a result of a competition among the qualified vendors.
