There's a clear mandate for the national emergency strategic stockpile, as you outlined, to ensure that the country is prepared, whether it's for a natural disaster or a pandemic, but also for national security threats like a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack.

To confirm, there is not a single government agency, including, notably, the one you outlined, that can give an accurate account of what medical supplies we have or how prepared we are in case of a major global conflict on Canadian soil or another COVID-19 pandemic, for example. There is no central database in Canada.
