Thank you for the question.
As my colleague from Innovation, Science and Economic Development mentioned, it's very important to have this concierge service. It's going to provide the support that small and medium-sized enterprises—and I would even say micro-businesses—need in those innovative sectors, whether it's defence, security or dual use, to understand how to navigate the federal procurement system—where to go first.
The other thing is that within our strategic partnerships, when we identify a strategic partner, we expect them to work collaboratively with the Government of Canada to help small and medium-sized enterprises and micro-businesses in Canada get into the supply chain. Within PSPC, as you know, we've implemented the buy Canadian policy, which prioritizes Canadian companies and federal procurement. Beyond that, we also have indigenous participation plans, which is another avenue to get small and medium-sized enterprises that are also indigenous into the supply chains.
We expect our strategic partners to integrate as many Canadian enterprises into their supply chains as is practical to deliver the capability to the CAF on time and on budget.
Thanks.
