I would point to two items I've noticed in this series of audits. When we looked at pandemic preparedness, I might have pointed to other matters, but here I would talk about the drive of short-term thinking, of dealing with the current things on the table versus that long-term view and, as I mentioned in my opening remarks, really planning for a rainy day. I think that's a natural tension between Parliament and government. We need to recognize that the federal public service has to always make sure that they keep their eye on the long-term thinking and do all that behind-the-scenes work.
The second thing I would point to here is that in reviewing internal documents and also in talking to officials, we found that the Public Health Agency cited budget constraints and limitations that limited their ability to deal with some of these issues and also to restock the stockpile when it had been used.
