Madam Chair, I think the members of this committee would agree that there have been startling revelations today, in particular the understanding that in 2019 this department, public health, threw out two million masks in Regina.
We know there were requests coming out of the province for 3.2 million masks, and yet the government was only able to respond with a little over 100,000 critical N95 masks for a disease that is respiratory and airborne in nature from February all the way until August, in the height of the first wave.
I heard talks of audit committees, systems that would have been set up for quality control. I'm going to go back to the original question. Who was responsible for these decisions, and who was responsible for the audits and the oversight?
