That's fair enough.
Lastly, I'm confused because, unless I heard incorrectly, Ms. Evans stated that a warning was issued by GPHIN on December 30, 2019, yet the Auditor General's March 2021 report found that Canada's GPHIN failed to issue an alert to provide an early warning of the novel coronavirus.
I'm reading from a July 30 article in The Globe and Mail that said:
Canada's Auditor General is planning to investigate what went wrong with the country's once-vaunted early warning system for pandemics after the unit curtailed its surveillance work and ceased issuing alerts more than a year ago, raising questions about whether it failed when it was needed most.
They said that according to 10 years of documents obtained by The Globe and Mail, the system went silent on May 24, 2019, after issuing more than 1,500 alerts.
My question is for the deputy Auditor General. Did you find any alert issued by GPHIN in December 2019 about COVID-19?
