Thank you. Leading a community health centre in those early days, I can certainly attest to the work that the PSPC did to really respond in a very timely manner.

I'll go back to the sixth wave. We're now seeing the BA.2 variant, and this certainly is a concern for many. Some provinces have opened up an eligibility for a fourth vaccine shot.

Would you mind speaking to the use of therapeutics in medical circles to relieve COVID symptoms? Does Canada have the use of therapeutics, and when did they come into Canada? If you have time to answer this part, do we have future contracts for therapeutics?
