It's an important answer.
We had a supplier in my riding, Wayward Distillery, that pivoted and supplied PPE to first responders and health care workers, and then the government had a flood of foreign hand sanitizer come in and it stepped in. They ended up losing $400,000 at the end of the day, because they got wiped out there. They were trying to help, and it was pretty sad.
The PBO had a framework for monitoring COVD-19 spending, which seems to have been last updated in June 2021. From the beginning of the pandemic until now, do you know how much has been spent on procuring personal protective equipment?
Do you have any sense of what portion of that spending benefited Canadian companies?
