Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here today, and thank you as well as to your accompanying associations for all the work you're doing on this pandemic.
We on the opposition side are looking to ask tough questions, but largely in the role of better supporting and advising this and future governments on any sort of pandemic planning, so I appreciate your being able to weigh in.
My first question will be for Mr. Culbert.
Correct me if I'm wrong. The national emergency stockpile, you said, could have been in better shape prior to this. Is that a correct statement?
