On December 30, an event was reported through the GPHIN system, as we're talking about here. The GPHIN system succeeded in identifying the event and then it was communicated out. As the Auditor General mentioned in her comments, the notification of an event goes out through two pathways. It goes out through a daily report, which goes to the Public Health Agency of Canada and domestic parties, and then there's an alert, which goes to a broader international audience. The daily report went out and notified people about this event of concern. As has been noted here, the chief public health officer acted upon that and spoke to provincial public health officers, for instance, as a result. The international alert, as the Auditor General mentioned, did not get issued.
