I think that Canada in general, and of course the CSC, was highly unprepared for COVID-19. When it first struck our institutions—the first institution was Port-Cartier in the Quebec region—it spread like wildfire. We know that because of the proximity of the inmates and the staff to one another in those confined environments, as soon as the disease gets into the institution, it thrives.
It became very evident that to solve these problems, the bargaining agents were going to need to be consulted. We were going to have to come to some agreements on how we were going to change the operations, because sometimes operations and routines that are ingrained in my membership are a hard dime to turn on. We've been doing them for years and years. Routine is very important.
Of course, all of our focus became about how we could keep the virus at bay. The very first thing we needed to do was close the borders to our institutions to outside visitors or staff who weren't essential to the workplace. I do believe that was the very first step in trying to mitigate some of the spread in our institutions, but once it gets hold, the spread happens so quickly. We have had some serious outbreaks across the country in every region, except for the Atlantic regions.
I'm not sure I answered the question.
