If you are a Canadian manufacturer or business that can assist Canada in meeting the need for medical supplies, your help is needed.
“The Plan to Mobilize Industry to fight COVID-19 directly supports businesses to rapidly scale up production or re-tool their manufacturing lines to develop products made in Canada that will help in the fight against COVID-19,” the government said in a release. “We are stronger when we work together.”
Ottawa said it wants to hear from any manufacturer who can say yes to the following:
- They manufacture in Canada and/or have ready access to necessary inputs through their supply chain.
- They have equipment or facilities that can be rapidly re-tooled to meet medical needs, including for personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks and surgical gowns; sanitizers; wipes; ventilators; and other medical equipment and supplies.
- They have skilled workers who are able to respond and who could be available for work in the current circumstances.
Anyone interested is asked to send a short summary of their offer to ic.mid-dim.ic@canada.ca.
