Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome, Minister Tassi. It's really nice to see you here.
I worked on the front line for the first three waves of COVID. It's always incredible to me, but I'm now going to ask you about the sixth wave. Could you speak to any funding that's allocated for a continuous wave within this COVID-19 pandemic? Also, with the previous efforts around securing PPE, vaccines and rapid tests to protect Canadians from this and future waves, where are we with existing supplies?
