We have given a great deal of thought to it. During the pandemic, our department did procurement work and awarded close to 16,000 contracts, for a total value of $20 billion.
That's 16,000 contracts in a two-year period for 20 billion dollars' worth of procurement on PPE, on vaccine procurements and on logistics, with a workforce of approximately a thousand employees and executives working in this field. We did our best to make sure we had records, that governance was taking place and that we were supporting a vast array of not only clients, but also, in the period of time we're talking about, the provinces and territories, which turned to us for assistance with their acquisitions for hospitals and with spooling up logistics trains. There were a lot of different pieces going on, with the same workforce trying to meet a breadth of needs that were very specific.
In terms of how we normally do things, there are many different hands working on many different contracts. It is not a one-to-one relationship. We support all of our clients, and we try to provide a level of due diligence and put in place a framework that ensure the rules are followed for transparency and openness and there is best value in the procurement process.
I will stop there. I don't know if Mr. Laporte would like to add something.
