Auditor General on Canada's Pandemic Preparedness
  • This is the Auditor General speaking with CBC on why Canada’s Public Health Agency (PHAC) was unprepared for the pandemic in five main areas: Health & Emergency Plans were not up-to-date, F/P/T Response Plan was never tested, surveillance and collection of health data had not been strengthened or touched upon in decades, the Risk Assessment Tool was not designed to properly assess the risks of a pandemic, and PHAC had no plan for implementing nation-level quarantine measures.
