In your report, I was surprised because you say that the chief public health officer “did not appear to have a clear mandate for leadership in a cross-jurisdictional foodborne outbreak”, when indeed that is actually in his job description. I was also surprised that “Canada has not yet implemented a national outbreak management strategy that incorporates all federal agencies and ensures coordination with provincial ministries.” That's in your report.
At the time of the outbreak, it seemed to you that the chief public health officer of Canada didn't seem to have the authority or mandate to be the chief spokesperson. Is that why that's in your report?
