Trudeau said he welcomed a report the government commissioned reviewing Canada's Global Public Health Intelligence Network, known as GPHIN, which was published Monday.
The review was done over six months by a three-member team led by Margaret Bloodworth, national security adviser to former prime minister Stephen Harper. More than 7,000 articles a day are pulled from the internet. About half of them are ultimately filtered out, and the rest analyzed by GPHIN staff to determine if they should be included in a daily report that is sent to about 500 public health and government officials in Canada.
By Jan. 1, the review team says the president of the Public Health Agency of Canada and chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam both "took action", including by notifying the ministers of health, foreign affairs and public safety. But they found there is room to improve how the public health agency and other government departments use that information to get the ready the country for what might be on the way.
There is room for improvement on every front JustinTrudeau …You have totally compromised our democracy by using COVID as the excuse for everything. All Canadians should take note, and be very concerned!
I told you so! You voted for me!
Defends 'early' response? Our response was anything but early by global standards. Come on CTV. Provinces were being held hostage due to the late deliveries by the Feds.
It was clearly a racism issue and a loud slap on the face of Canadian multiculturalism. Everyone else was sacrificed to protect Tam’s own ethnicity.
Trudeau’s government response, don’t worry about it, we’re prepared:
Sorry over 25,000 people dead. Economy in record debt. Closing airports should have been common sense. Along with mandatory quarantines for returning Canadians.
I believe PM did good job on Covid as well as did most of the Premiers. These guys are ELECTED and none are scientists with no knowledge of diseases like this and no idea when elected they were to oversee this Pandemic. Hats off to you all. All stripes. Did best you could. Thanks
I think the Federal government did very well considering the circumstances. fordnation shat the bed and lost 4.4 billion...
Duh! Ya think?
The carbon clique should feel like abused toilets
The vaccine rollout at the beginning was an absolute joke. But I’m glad we bounced back hard and are trending in the right direction for once.
