Thank you for the question.
Just before I dig into that answer, I would signal that the member's point about the pandemic and previous experiences like SARS is indeed a matter that we raised in our pandemic preparedness report. We said that there were long-standing known issues that should have been dealt with long before this pandemic presented itself, and we hope the government has learned from those lessons.
In terms of policies for procurement to make sure that there is good service for indigenous people and for the Nutrition North program, what I would say is that this matter comes down to the departments responsible for those procurements in making sure that the requirements and services that are needed are clearly articulated in the contract documents, whether they be in the request for proposal or the ultimate contracts that are signed with those organizations.
Again, tying this to our ArriveCAN work, this is exactly why we made the recommendations that deliverables and costs be captured in documentation and included in the contracts.
