As I mentioned earlier in responding to another question, I believe that on January 15, the federal-provincial-territorial response plan sort of kicked in, which informed the response. That plan had not ever been tested. The testing of a plan is really important in order to identify gaps and weaknesses and to overcome obstacles.
We might consider it a bit of a tabletop thing that no one really thinks is important to help you be better prepared. It was that plan that guided the response.
