The overall purpose of my report is more of the other side of what you're speaking to. I don't think there's any benefit in saying that if something was on one day or that day and necessarily in small details.... We can talk about those at different times. I like to focus more on the higher level of seeking system solutions to the coordination, not wanting to pass the buck in that sense. We all want to be engaged and do our part.
What system adjustments should we make so it is clear that in the case of an outbreak where the public's health is at risk there's the right leadership at that stage? In Ontario the public health system, under the Minister of Health, takes that leadership for the protection of the public in an outbreak. We're looking for a similar structure at the federal level that would comply or work synergistically with ours at the provincial level. Rather than who does what, when, and where, it is how do we all work better together to give a better response. I think that's what the public of Canada and Ontario expect in this situation. Jurisdictional issues, I think, are not a concern to them, but the type and timeliness of response is of paramount importance.
