It has been my contention that upon the issuance of that fact-finding report, steps should have been taken immediately thereafter to at the very least restrict their access. It doesn't mean that they had to be walked out of the lab, but I have to say, when Dr. Gilmour was here and I asked him what new evidence or what new information PHAC had between the issuance of that report and July 5, 2019, he said there was nothing more. Very simply, then, would you agree that at that moment their access should have been restricted?
