Thank you very much.

Thank you to our witnesses for such an important conversation.

I'd like to start with some of the thoughts around COVID and the comments you made around its being a priority on the to-do list. Up until now, we've had a co-operative agreement between the U.S. and Canada on the production and procurement of critical medical supplies. I'm wondering whether the conversation has begun around how we might secure some of the vaccines that are currently being produced in the U.S. Could you share the progress on that conversation?
