Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will try to keep this brief.
I would like to get a bit of an international context. We have talked about Europe and some of the states. Hearing what I would suggest is a pretty abysmal application of things like the precautionary principle--a general public health protection--how does Canada rank internationally? Do we tend to be laggards on this front, or does the world look to us for any sort of governance or guidance about the way to do things?
