Dr. Tam, you mentioned vulnerable age groups in your report today. As you're aware, PHAC was developed in 2003, after the SARS epidemic. After that, a lot of the studies talked about preparing people for future pandemics. However, as Dr. Nemer said today, we've been playing catch-up. We've heard similar things from many other different presenters at the committee. For example, research was stopped after the SARS pandemic, and there were other issues, such as protocols were being forgotten.
It's been 17 years. PHAC was supposed to come up with the protocols to make certain that we were prepared and our seniors were prepared for this situation. What protocols and steps have been put in place by PHAC in the past 17 years to ensure that our seniors are prepared? You're saying today that we now have to prepare again. Why was that not done after SARS?
