Thank you to all of the witnesses for coming and answering questions on this important report.
Ms. Hogan, recommendation 8.65 states the following:
The Public Health Agency of Canada should finalize the improvements to its information technology infrastructure to facilitate the collection of timely, accurate, and complete surveillance information from provinces and territories, both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The agency should establish timelines for the completion of these improvements.
How serious are these problems related to the agency's IT infrastructure? Does this situation require a major overhaul, or can this be accomplished with smaller modifications?
