Mr. Chair, we have been working incredibly well with provinces and territories on the need for personal protective equipment and also on the medical supplies needed to respond to the COVID-19 crisis. We have supported provinces and territories to procure equipment they have struggled to procure on their own, amplifying their own work to make sure they can distribute it to the various networks in their provinces and territories that require the personal protective equipment. We have also worked with the provinces and territories on guidance to make sure that we are using the right equipment for the right level of protection.
