That is an academic question.
Once there has been an outbreak, the important thing is to focus on containing its impact and determining exactly what occurred. We are talking about a vulnerable population that had been exposed to the products we examined when the listeriosis crisis arose. Had it been a non-vulnerable population, there would not have been such a high mortality rate.
It was an unfortunate situation, because a vulnerable population was ultimately the one most exposed to these products. As far as we are concerned, what is important now is to ensure that, in future, seniors, pregnant women and people with a weaker immune system have access to information to help them make the right decisions.
We also want to work with health care professionals, to be sure that there are clear lines of communication. We discovered that, when the outbreak occurred, there was a lack of communication with public health authorities who are responsible for keeping the general public informed. That is what was reported.
