First, thank you to our colleague Mr. Brassard for stating from the start that the use of science and the use of information has been key, not only to saving billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs but also to saving tens of thousands of lives. The outcome of what we've done in the last 20 months.... I repeat: Using information, data and science has saved tens of thousands of lives in Canada. Compared to all other countries in the G7 except for Japan, our death rate is significantly lower. If we had followed the example of our friend at the southern border, we would have had 60,000 more people dying in Canada, so we can congratulate each other on those actions based on science and data.
The second thing we all absolutely agree on—and Mr. Brassard certainly stated that very clearly—is the absolute priority to protect the information of Canadians, and that's why de-identified, aggregated, anonymized data have been used, and 1.7 million Canadians over the last few months have been able to see that data on the web. It's been there since 2020. It was announced by the Prime Minister in March 2020. It was implemented in April 2020, and as of January, 1.7 million Canadians have been able to see that data on the web, so nothing is secret. Everything is transparent, fully science-based and saving lots of lives.
