Don Martin: After that devastating auditor general’s report, why does Tam still have a job?

OTTAWA — The unwritten conclusion of that scathing auditor general’s report into how the Public Health Agency botched early pandemic detection is obvious: Replace Dr. Theresa Tam.

That might sound harsh for the high-profile face who has been calmly cajoling Canadians to stay home, wash their hands and, after her change of mind last April, wear a face mask in public.

But there’s no sugar-coating blame for the abysmally slow early detection and erroneous risk assessment of COVID-19 in Canada, as extensively documented in a report last week by the auditor general.

She may as well be working for China for all the “good” she’s done.
