Thank you, Madam Chair.
It's good to see you again, Ms. Hogan, and thank you, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Ossowski, for being with us and answering our questions today.
I must say that reading over your report, Ms. Hogan, I felt a fair degree of alarm that this could have happened under such serious circumstances. I was trying to think of a metaphor or an analogy that could help Canadians understand the main findings of your report, particularly around the risk assessment. It seemed to me that in a way, Canada had installed a fire alarm system and our house was filled with smoke, and yet the fire alarm didn't go off. Then in mid March, the public health officer of Canada had to go in and manually pull the alarm. Is that a fair characterization? I want people, without having to dive into the detail of the report, to be able to understand the key failure that you've characterized.
