Your audit began on March 25 and ended in June 2020. That's the period when Canadians were returning home en masse. I remember that most of my colleagues and I were busy repatriating Canadians from around the world.
You mentioned quarantine monitoring. Should there be closer cooperation between public health officers and the provincial forces, as Mr. Paul-Hus mentioned earlier? In Ontario, it would be the Ontario Provincial Police, the OPP, in Quebec the Sûreté du Québec , the SQ, and in the other provinces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the RCMP. In the latter instance, it was a separate contract that was not with the department.
How could your recommendation fix the problem? I can't imagine hiring 3,000 full-time public health officers. I'm simply trying to understand this recommendation and figure out how we might improve the situation.
