I'm happy to speak to that.
The minister mentioned, in her opening remarks, the e-procurement initiative. It has a total budget of about $240 million. Earlier, in the month of September, we went live with the CanadaBuys site, which is the client-facing portal. There are some back-office capabilities, as well. This is aimed at making the procurement experience much easier and less frustrating, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. It will give the government much better access to data, and it will allow suppliers to self-identify when they are members of equity-seeking organizations.
We are pleased with the progress. We have over 20,000 suppliers already registered on the site, and over $1 billion in contracts has been registered, so the program is meeting its key milestones.
