It also gives me a sense that they made a grave mistake in shutting them down in the first place.
I have concerns in your statement over your remarks on Minister Anand announcing the essential services contingency reserve. There was some deflection the last time around the national emergency stockpile. Members of this committee will recall Minister Hajdu pivoting on the mandate, which was clearly written out and expressed in all the policies surrounding the national emergency strategic stockpile.
Is Minister Anand, in her recent announcement of the essential services contingency reserve, creating a new body to replace the national emergency stockpile, or is the government just simply pivoting and calling these new leased warehouses something different to provide essentially the same outcome under the mandate of the national emergency strategic stockpile?
