Certainly there has, and as mentioned earlier, this involves a great deal of leadership from our colleagues at ISED, the Department of Industry, in assessing a company's ability to scale up quickly, because speed is important here, and then what their ability to participate as a long-term player is in the various fields?
You have a couple of scenarios here. One is a company that is retooling deliberately, temporarily, as part of the cause, and another where you have a company that's looking to start up an ongoing business line.
We have relationships we are pursuing right now with a company called Medicom, which I believe I mentioned, to become an ongoing manufacturer of N95 and surgical masks on a go-forward basis, because we think the domestic supply is important.
We've seen other examples where companies have retooled to start producing hand sanitizer. Is that a permanent switch or is that just something they are doing temporarily because it was a pretty easy handover for them to.... I don't want to overstate it, but they were able to repurpose very quickly. Do they plan on staying in that business or is this temporary? That's a discussion to have with them as time goes on.
However, there's an ongoing need for the N95 or surgical masks, absolutely.
