I think that's my answer. Thank you very much.
To the Auditor General, in paragraph 9.55 of your report you state:
The agency was not able to properly track vaccine surplus and wastage once vaccines were delivered to the provinces and territories. A lack of data-sharing agreements with provinces and territories...affected the agency's capacity to gather information on the inventory, wastage, and expiry of COVID-19 vaccine doses.
I recognize the tremendous difficulty this would place on the public service's ability to monitor and track that, considering that you rely on the partners—at least we hope so—in the context of them reporting their need.
The lack of data-sharing agreements with provinces and territories is something that is important for Canadians to understand. In light of that finding and of the 13.6 million that were wasted that we just heard about, is it likely that there's a greater percentage of wastage, considering we weren't able to actually know how the provinces handled their vaccine dosage?
