Thank you. Sometimes the information provided is “confusing”, a term that my children use. There's a series of information points but no summary.
On another note, I noticed in supplementary estimates (A), 2023‑24 that an amount of $463 million was authorized for the acquisition of an emerging COVID‑19 treatment; $463 million definitely isn't a large amount compared to this multi-billion-dollar budget. I felt a jolt when I read the words “emerging treatment” and inquired into the number of people who were still dying from COVID‑19. Now one death is one death too many, but 33 people are dying from it every week. That's the same as the number of deaths caused by traffic accidents and nearly three times that of deaths caused by influenza.
Have you had a chance to question the government about this amount? What could justify it? The pandemic seems to be behind us, although we still need to be careful.
