Thank you.
Number two, in 2010 the audit of emergency preparedness and response flagged inadequate record-keeping as a particularly concerning problem with the national emergency strategic stockpile. They said it was unclear how much of the stockpile was up to date and what quantity of the goods had expired. The Globe and Mail quoted that report:
“NESS does not have reliable useful life information for the majority of its supplies stored at the main warehouse, the regional warehouses, or at the pre-positioned sites”...The creation of an electronic database might solve the problem...
Has PHAC created an electronic database to manage the NESS records, and if so, when was that put in place?
