KITCHENER -- A Cambridge company that pivoted to create millions of masks during the pandemic now has millions of products in storage.
"My phone is ringing off the hook," Mai said. "The disappointment is that the phone isn't ringing from any Canadian source." "I think we should have a body in Canada that looks into determining the standard, which is something that the Canadian Standards Association is forming," said Ravi Selvaganapathy, a professor at McMaster University and the director of the Centre of Excellence in Protective Equipment.
"During the summer of [2020], a lot of organizations in the U.S. that were doing certifications actually shut to international testing," he said. "That was one of the crises that we went through in Canada. But, I think there's been a number of organizations within Canada that have been created to do a lot of these tests."
Wow! All these masks and they have to be “inspected for approval” yet they expire very soon? Wtff
There is prob vaccines sitting somewhere too, who would be surprised
Sounds like the LPC.
Good keep them there masks are for uneducated slaves
Hahahaha ..... government and planning should never be used in the same sentence. What a bunch of clowns.
Ya we can’t have Canadian made, it’s racist to China.
Send inspectors so ppl cam have masks!!
More bureaucratic and government incompetence, go figure

No vaccine manufacturing in Canada is one thing. But no testing/certification facility? Pandemic has exposed a real mess Canada's healthcare system is in.
