I'm going to go on.
On January 25, the WHO assessed the risk of a COVID-19 event to be moderate at the global level, while PHAC assessed the risk for Canada as low. That was actually the same day the first case of COVID-19 was identified in Ontario. On February 2, the WHO changed that threat level to high.
On February 17, the cabinet passed an order in council that read, and I'm quoting here, “the introduction or spread of [COVID-19] would pose an imminent and severe risk to public health in Canada”. Yet after that date, you continued to insist the risk to Canada was low.
Why did you disregard the official conclusion that there was “an imminent and severe risk”? What do you think are the consequences of leading Canadians to believe the risk was low?
