What I could offer up is that, during the audit of the ArriveCAN app, we found that some of the contracts that were issued invoked the national security emergency exemption, which means that certain requirements in the normal procurement processes don't have to happen—certain compliances or elements. I know that it was used there. How often it is used across the government is not a question that I can answer, but I can tell you that it was used in the ArriveCAN contracts, for sure.
