Thank you. I assume that's okay with the chair. Thank you so much.
I want to go back to Ms. Thornton. I know a lot of the questions have been fairly combative.
It strikes me that there's a collective failure in Canada, and I wonder if you would agree with me. We made decisions after the SARS epidemic that we would be prepared and that there should be minimum stocks of PPE available in Canada. Allowing so much PPE critical equipment to go well past its best-before date, and five years past expiration, suggests that we lost track of this critical function of preparedness.
I wonder if you can comment on what we will do in future to make sure this doesn't happen again.
