Mr. Chair, thank you for the question on e-procurement. This is a project we're quite excited about. We have a very large procurement footprint across the government. This is a rebuild of the fundamental platform underpinning a system that supports $22 billion in government procurement.
This is a cloud-based approach. It's much more user-friendly, simpler and more accessible for small businesses, including equity-seeking businesses. It will reduce the burden associated with procurement transactions, and it will provide improved data from a better management system in terms of being able to look at the entire breadth of procurement in the government.
We have a phased rollout over the coming months, and through the ongoing engagement with user groups we're really hopeful that it will be a game-changer for businesses trying to do business with the Government of Canada.
