I'm not entirely convinced by the deputy minister's responses regarding the uniqueness of what happened in COVID-19. There have been other world epidemics and pandemics, most recently SARS and H1N1. I think there have been recommendations that must not have been implemented to allow for such drastic failures by this Liberal government on ArriveCAN.
Second, I want to mention the continual failure of this Liberal government regarding indigenous peoples in terms of contracting as well, because, as I said earlier, the Nutrition North program is a major failure. It's supposed to help alleviate poverty, but the way that it's contracted out is another indication of whether meeting indigenous peoples' needs is actually at the forefront of this Liberal government. I point very easily to the fact that Nutrition North is supposed to alleviate poverty, but the North West Company has profited by $119 million in one quarter, and in that same one quarter, they've received a $61-million subsidy from the federal government.
I'll ask the Auditor General what policies and procedures are needed to strengthen contracting procedures, especially when it's supposed to alleviate things like poverty among indigenous peoples.
