Thank you for the question.
In the context of the pandemic, what we don't yet know is what the full impact will be on wait times and on mental health needs going forward, for example. We can safely predict that there will be a great need in increased costs.
Clearly there needs to be a collaborative approach between the federal and provincial governments in working on how best to meet those needs going forward, in a system that was already challenged prior to the beginning of the pandemic.
