Respectfully, Mr. Chair, I need to reclaim my time on this.
You'll recall that this government threw out two million N95 masks in 2019 in the lead-up to this. At some point in time, it was deemed necessary to have millions of critical PPE for surge. Now we're talking about a response on the N95s, a 4% successful shipping rate out to the provinces on the eve of a global catastrophic pandemic.
This is my final question. In your opinion, would you not agree that the national emergency strategic stockpile was a catastrophic failure on the eve of COVID?
