>Federal public-health officials say an open freezer door caused the loss of medication worth $20-million at the national emergency stockpile in December, 2024, and the Conservative health critic says a briefing on the incident has raised serious national-security questions.
>Officials from the Public Health Agency of Canada were called before the House of Commons health committee this week to explain what happened.
>Part of the briefing was held behind closed doors because of national-security concerns linked to the stockpile, which is maintained to prepare for disease outbreaks and other emergencies.
>The 2024 incident was first reported on by The Canadian Press in November after the loss was revealed through the annual public accounts, the audited financial statements of the federal government.
>While officials did not say exactly what was destroyed or how much, PHAC has said previously that a quantity of one type of therapeutic drug was lost as a result of temperature fluctuations that it said were “caused by several factors.”
a monkey f***ing a football
My parents have a fancy fridge where if the door is open for more than a couple minutes an alarm goes off. You ever see those power stations or small transformers that have a red light and sign that says call whatever number of light is flashing. So yeah I got some questions about something as simple as a door ajar killing 20 million worth of meds. There must be a system to detect and prevent this loss.
See if that employee was wfh they wouldn’t have opened that freezer and saved the gov $20mil
I know someone who isnt getting a raside when thier performance review comes.
Temperature Sensors monitored by a central station has been standard practice since Covid-19 vaccine locations first opened during lockdowns. If this can be done in random cities across the country why can’t it be done for a national emergency stockpile?
Clearly this is too much work for a federal department and it needs to be put in the militaries hands.
Fucking idiots. Just edging closer towards idiocracy at lightning speed.
Thankfully it wasn’t anything important or valuable/,s
A perfect scenario that perfectly explains government. Zero respect for our money. Zero care and zero consequences. What a comedy.
Nice. Our taxes pay for incompetence.
Most infuriating part is no one will be held accountable….
Oh Canada, what did you do now?
I worked in automotive testing and even we were using temperature monitoring and alarms, this is so incredibly egregious
The fact a single freezer full of medicine is worth $20 milloon is disgusting enough. The fact no warning sensor was applied to a freezer with that value of medication is truly moronic.
how much was someone paid to leave the door open?
Whoops! I guess a few companies make a few more millions. What’s the problem?
Wait…I’ve been at a construction site where they have a temporary door outside in a courtyard of a government building with a damn card reader and alarm if it’s left open for too long…but a stock pile worth million is just a freezer door…
Edit: the said door is after a few other doors so it’s not like someone can walk off the street and get in.
