The push seems to be for N95 masks. Do you think that is where the priority needs to be for the country? The reason I ask is that I've had suppliers.... We hear so much about the need for N95 masks, and a huge percentage of what has been brought in so far has been faulty masks. We haven't procured any masks in the last month that have passed PHAC's standards, yet I continue to hear from producers and suppliers that they've approached different levels of government—federal, provincial—but no one is actually looking to buy the masks. Can you shed any light on that? It just doesn't make sense.
