Thank you.

First, thank you for your important work, Mr. Giroux and Ms. Vanderwees. We really appreciate your being here.

One of the votes being referred to this committee relates to the Department of Public Works and Government Services, which is seeking just under $136 million for supplies for the health care system.

Can you speak about the economic benefits that can be generated by spending if the focus is placed on procuring supplies from domestic manufacturers?
