It's an out of context quote from a supposed email that the author does not share. That is not an official statement of any sort.

Why didn't the author of the article share the email so we can see the entire exchange and not no be given piecemeal quotes? Does said email or "email exchange" even exist? And who did they speak to? What is their role for the agency? If they wanted to remain confidential, that is typically stated as such in the article.

These are journalism 101 topics. It's reckless and irresponsible to report confirmation of something with no source or official quotes.

It's ironic that they criticize Health Canada for not being transparent, but the supposed email exchanges and source of the quotes they are using to suppose confirmation couldn't be more murky.

It's astonishing what people will and will not accept as credible sources of information these days.
