Thank you.
Naturally, given the diverse nature of grants and contributions programs, we've allowed for exceptions. As we've indicated in our guidance, the departments are to identify when applying buy Canadian would not make sense. For example, for programs in which the funding has already been subscribed or for programs that have sunset, that wouldn't make sense. In a case in which it would naturally apply but it's not the circumstance that would allow for it, the minister would approve the exception.
