Mr. Chairman, as I said earlier, we are following the evidence wherever it leads us. Part of our mandate is to look at the communication that occurred at the time of the outbreak, the communication between the federal agencies and departments and government, and also look at the communication to Canadians and how Canadians actually viewed that communication.
We have access to all documents that we need. We have had no refusal of anything we've asked for. This is something that is part of the investigation we're conducting. It's in the mandate, it's in the terms of reference, and it is something that we've heard about. We've had several meetings with the public health officials in Ontario, so we understand the questions that are out there.
Certainly, there has been extraordinary cooperation from the Public Health Agency of Canada, their staff, and recently we've brought onto our team a former medical officer of health from Ontario who herself had experience with a food-borne outbreak. I think we have the right people, we have the power to get at the information, and it is part of our mandate to look at the communication that followed this outbreak.
