RUMBLING AT PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY

Lilley:  Something is happening at the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Not only did the president of the organization leading the pandemic response resign last week, but a vice-president left the week before.

 Under their leadership, PHAC took their eye off the ball, stopped caring about why the organization was set up in the first place and started to look at other more pressing needs than ensuring Canada was ready for a pandemic.

A $500,000 grant for climate-change storytelling while not renewing the PPE stockpile is one example. Having experts in spotting pandemics study vaping is another.
