Now I will share through mine some of the problems that are still outstanding with her rationale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298348\" data-originallang=\"en\">At the outset of COVID, there was a drastic mishandling of the national emergency stockpile. We asked the <a data-HoCid=\"253382\" href=\"/politicians/anita-anand/\" title=\"Anita Anand\">Minister of Public Services and Procurement</a>, who could have been responsible, if it was her responsibility. She said, no, it was the <a data-HoCid=\"253395\" href=\"/politicians/patty-hajdu/\" title=\"Patty Hajdu\">Minister of Health</a>. Then we asked the Minister of Health who, of course, would not take responsibility for the fact that the government threw out millions of critical PPE on the eve of a pandemic and still has not adequately accounted for that decision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298349\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the member opposite not believe that the government has a role and a responsibility to ensure that critical personal protective equipment is provided to Canadians in a way that will help offset what could perhaps be a third wave coming in the future?</p>",

Maintenant, je vais expliquer pourquoi, selon mon point de vue, il y a encore quelques probl\u00e8mes avec son raisonnement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298348\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au d\u00e9but de la pand\u00e9mie de COVID-19, on a tr\u00e8s mal g\u00e9r\u00e9 la r\u00e9serve nationale d'urgence. Nous avons demand\u00e9 \u00e0 la <a data-HoCid=\"253382\" href=\"/politicians/anita-anand/\" title=\"Anita Anand\">ministre des Services publics et de l\u2019Approvisionnement</a> si elle en \u00e9tait responsable, et, dans la n\u00e9gative, qui l'\u00e9tait. Elle a r\u00e9pondu non, que c'\u00e9tait la <a data-HoCid=\"253395\" href=\"/politicians/patty-hajdu/\" title=\"Patty Hajdu\">ministre de la Sant\u00e9</a> qui en avait la responsabilit\u00e9. Ensuite, nous avons pos\u00e9 la question \u00e0 la ministre de la Sant\u00e9, qui, bien s\u00fbr, n'a pas assum\u00e9 la responsabilit\u00e9 du fait que le gouvernement a jet\u00e9 des millions d'articles d'\u00e9quipement de protection individuelle essentiels \u00e0 l'aube d'une pand\u00e9mie et qui n'a toujours pas rendu ad\u00e9quatement compte de cette d\u00e9cision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6298349\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e d'en face ne croit-elle pas que le gouvernement a pour r\u00f4le et responsabilit\u00e9 de fournir de l'\u00e9quipement de protection individuelle essentiel aux Canadiens de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 att\u00e9nuer les cons\u00e9quences d'une troisi\u00e8me vague qui pourrait frapper prochainement?</p>"
