I think that's an excellent question, and as I mentioned in my message to Parliament in March when I tabled my reports, one that we need to study. Whether that means that an individual who can study the response country-wide is asked to do so...I think that would be smart. As the federal Auditor General, I can only look at federal responses, but I think having someone who could look across the country at what provinces and municipalities are also doing to respond would help the country better prepare for the next wave.
What I can do is the vaccine audit, which is coming up at the end of 2022. I'm trying to coordinate with my provincial counterparts—the auditors general in the provinces—to see if they can pick up the piece of the vaccination process where provinces take over the responsibility. My office can look at approval of vaccine all the way to delivery to the provinces, and then they can pick up the other half. If we can coordinate our work and coordinate when we might publicly release our report, I think that would help inform Canadians about how vaccines went from approval to shots in arms. That's something I can do, but as a country, I believe we need to figure out the best way to respond to the next health crisis.
