The agency can only do its work by obtaining data from the provinces, because health is a provincial jurisdiction. The agency needs to get data on a timely basis and needs to get it in a manner that is complete and accurate. There's a question of the standards around the kind of data it wants and the detail it needs to be able to do its work. Certain provinces have raised concerns about privacy issues. Those have not been addressed. So there's a question around the timely provision of accurate and complete data for the agency to be able to carry out its kind of analysis.
As well, we would have expected to see in place protocols around roles and responsibilities in the case of a major outbreak, and those are still not in place. Who calls whom? Those sorts of things should be in place and not be left up to chance when we need them.
