In terms of the procurement, the Library of Parliament's briefing notes indicate that 63% of the ventilators ordered have arrived, a total of 25,000 ventilators. We now know that the need for ventilators is not great and we already have enough of them to meet the demand.
Is it true that we have received 25,000 ventilators? Are they being kept in the national stockpile in case of another crisis? Does the contract contain a clause allowing the rest of the order, some 15,000 ventilators, to be cancelled? If it does not, we are going to end up with a surplus worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
