Leveraging collaboration between all partners to improve Canada’s pandemic preparedness

  • MONTREAL—It is widely recognized that when the COVID-19 pandemic reached Canada in early 2020, academia, industry, not-for-profits, and governmental agencies alike were not prepared
Opinion | BY YVES JOANETTE AND ARIANNE TRUDEAU | September 26, 2022
