Madam Chair, if I have understood the question correctly, Mr. Spengemann is talking about the ongoing preparations and the work done to keep provincial and territorial immunization plan preparation at a high level. Correct me if that's not quite your question. I can tell you that we have imported a number of practices and methods that lend themselves well to military operations and that can be adapted to nearly any operation. A number of us, within the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence, have occasionally had to adapt methods that are based on military operations, but that are adaptable to non-traditional operations.
In December, we carried out simulation exercises with more than 140 stakeholders from all levels. In preparation for the second phase in spring, when vaccination activities will increase significantly, a number of those stakeholders will be brought back to the virtual table to discuss plans and adjustments to be made for proper preparation at all levels.
