Do Business with the Government of Canada

The Government of Canada wants to help smaller and diverse businesses sell to the government. Procurement Assistance Canada (PAC), as part of Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), is here to make it easier for smaller businesses to bid on federal contracting opportunities.

In partnership with Procurement Assistance Canada (PAC), ISANS Business Services is delighted to present this information session. Join us to hear from Paul Gerin, Outreach Officer with Procurement Assistance Canada (PAC), with over 20 years of federal government experience.
