I'm referring specifically to the process of procurement.
Let's examine this notion of risk a little bit. Let's remind ourselves of the situation in March 2020, in which we had global shortages and stock outages of PPE. A lot of emergency stockpiles around the world were finding themselves in a bad way, and really only one country of origin dominated the market for this equipment.
As you went through all of these contracts, Madam Hogan, you concluded that the department acted with dispatch with the appropriate level of urgency and also, to the extent that was possible, that it balanced that risk by applying appropriate controls at various stages of the process. Is that an appropriate characterization of your report?
