Thank you, Minister, Dr. Tam and health officials, for sharing your time with us today.
Minister, we've had this discussion. I have observed the questions of the members on this issue over the past number of weeks as it has developed. We're talking about a balance between protecting the privacy of Canadians and maintaining and using good-quality data to protect Canadians' health and safety.
Minister, I know you weren't able to get through a lot of your answers with previous questioners. Can you perhaps outline for us what additional steps the ministry, PHAC, took to ensure that safety was protected and that we were able to really secure that balance between security of privacy and security of health for Canadians?
