In the spring there was a global shortage of protective equipment, both medical and non-medical grade equipment. We certainly utilized the stock that was at our disposal for the tasks at the long-term care facilities. We also had equipment distributed for additional potential tasks. It was very clear that we took every step to ensure that members were prepared, had the right PPE and were trained in its use before going into long-term care facilities. As I previously mentioned, we worked very closely with the Public Health Agency of Canada and PSPC to maintain the stock and to continue to acquire the appropriate stock.
I know that Admiral Patterson has further details on the distribution. She can certainly touch on the issue of expiry dates.
