Thank you, Minister.

You mentioned that $4 billion has been earmarked for rapid tests, which is a huge number. Minister, of that $4 billion, how much is that costing the provinces, for example Ontario? Is that a cost-share with the provinces and territories, or is that $4 billion simply the federal government stepping forward and saying it will cover the full cost of the rapid tests?
