Government Operations committee  We're hoping that it will be within a week. It's pretty quick. Again, it's something new for us. It has to be quick to be useful, because it's meant to be a short-term backstop. Obviously, if it takes months and months, that's not effective.

Government Operations committee  It's largely non-medical. You'll see KN95 masks. You'll see cloth masks, hand sanitizer and coveralls. Things like these will be stocked in there. I should also have mentioned that part of the other reason for the delay, August 3, was to give industry a chance to organize as wel

Government Operations committee  I should be more precise with my comments. Some pieces of domestic ones have been slow to deliver. When you look at face shields, you will see that it's been very quick—quite miraculous, frankly—and really on board quickly. If you're getting into manufacturing ventilators for th

Government Operations committee  That's a really important question. All of our masks to date, frankly, are coming from China or the U.S. We have 3M deliveries through the U.S., and the rest are pretty much through China. We have a contract with Medicom for both surgical masks and N95 masks. Surgical masks are

Government Operations committee  It's a two-part answer. Self-certification is one. The second part is the regime—

Government Operations committee  The second part is that we do go back against all our contractors and check their track record in terms of any charges they have faced. If they've been found or have pled guilty to charges that are on the list, then they're not eligible. That's the two-step regime.

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chair, I mentioned the two-step process. We have the regime that checks against charges against the country.... I should ask Arianne if she wants to add anything to this.

Government Operations committee  Arianne, did you want to jump in?

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chair, how much time do I have left? I have a sense we're running out.

Government Operations committee  This may be a good time for Mr. Déry to finish answering the question that was asked previously.

Government Operations committee  Good luck!

Government Operations committee  Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'll start the questions, but I will go back to Ms. Reza in a moment, I think. Self-certification is the starting point. You will appreciate that when we're dealing with suppliers in other countries, we don't always have access to the same types of informatio

Government Operations committee  We have no direct link, Mr. Chair, in terms of being aware of that, so we're not aware of any of those issues. It might be interesting, Mr. Chair, if the member will indulge us.... There is an ethical apparel policy that the government has. It might be worth Ms. Reza spending tw

Government Operations committee  If I could clarify, Mr. Chair, we have checked with the contractors we deal with, and we are not aware of any link there. We have proactively checked and have not found anything.

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chair, this is where I'd like to turn to my colleague Ms. Reza to talk about the ethical apparel policy, because it is fundamental to this question. Arianne, do you want to chime in? I suspect the member is looking for a quick answer, because she's running out of time.
