One of the basic premises or principles underpinning emergency response is that municipalities, provinces and territories are prepared to deal with emergencies and have the supplies to do that. It certainly wouldn't be the role of the Public Health Agency of Canada to deliver health care services or have the supplies to deliver them.
This was a unique situation in which, based on the global challenges in purchasing, bulk procurement made sense. We'll continue to work with the provinces and territories going forward in terms of where the supply and demand modelling situates us. As well, there has been a stabilization in the market, and our provincial and territorial partners have found themselves much more effectively situated with their own supplies and stockpiles.
