She’ll be releasing a pair of reports on the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic today. One of them is an audit of the government’s efforts to procure COVID-19 vaccines, provide access to them, and monitor their effectiveness. The second is an audit of the financial programs the government rolled out to keep the economy afloat during lockdowns.
