That's one issue we were trying to raise. It's that the federal government actually loses some visibility in what happens to the doses once they've been delivered to the provinces and territories.
VaccineConnect was suppose to help with creating some awareness of where those doses were used, administered or expired. The long-standing issue of not having data-sharing agreements is that it just doesn't allow the provinces and territories to let the federal government know where the information is, who has it and how to share it.
Those have been long-standing, where an agreement needs to be in place, back to 1999.
I'll just highlight this. You asked about the 21.7 million doses that were waiting to be donated back in early December when these reports were released. At the time, the department had confirmed to me that eight million had been donated and that a million of those 21.7 million had expired. That was in early December.
I can offer up that additional information following your exchange earlier with the other witness.
