Based on the charts in terms of understanding what the roles and responsibilities are, through you, Mr. Chair, for the national emergency strategic stockpile, I'm to understand, and perhaps Ms. Hogan can confirm, that it is the federal government's responsibility to provide in this way. Coming out of SARS and H1N1, were we to have the ability, distributed across the country, to respond to pandemics like this based on the framework for the national emergency strategic stockpile, and is that that where our responsibility ends? Was it up to the provinces to access this?
I guess if we know that the percentages of requested units shipped were 12%, 4%, 46% and 18%, is it safe to say, based on the previous answer, that either the government was withholding critical ventilators and N95 masks or they simply didn't have them? In the Auditor General's opinion, which would be the case?
