Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In terms of procurement best practices, some of them were mentioned in the report, in terms of looking at the integrity of companies and doing financial checks, but also what is important for us is to focus on determining your requirements and your needs.
One of the things we did early on in this, in terms of setting our strategy, was to develop a playbook for the acquisition of vaccines. Going forward, we will continue to work with the Public Health Agency and Health Canada to ensure that we understand the needs and the timeliness; that we have the requirements of Canadians well defined upfront; that, as we're conducting our procurements, we'll continue to look at how we ensure that we are integral partners; and that our contracts reflect the needs of Canadians and give us the flexibility to manage those supplies as we go forward.
