This is not about private versus public, funding production, etc. This is about a health emergency, and the public entities we have in place not doing their job.

But this is exactly what it's about. Is it the public entities job to solve supply issues for private companies? When does it become the federal entities job to do the job of the provincial ones?
If there's a current threshold built in to the mandate, when was it hit. If there isn't when should the triggers for this intervention be legislated in?
