It's not common to have undated letters, but in terms of one of the things as we move forward, B.C. is an important partner for us through the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, as well as the Ministry of Health and its divisions. They have been very much engaged through this process, but not every single person in the departments has been engaged to the same degree.
We've had a number of conversations since then, including conversations with all the chief medical officers across the country, plus the provincial lab directors and others, sort of building on the previous conversations. I think all of them are looking forward to whatever happens. Obviously, as officials we're not going to preempt your legislative process. We are open to clarification and other things as you work through the next few days.
But at the same time, as we develop the regulations, they are really looking forward to the process of consultation that we've outlined, and their engagement in ensuring that the consultation and the process that follows will be comprehensive and effective, as we've described. All the conversations I've had with provincial officials and others is that they will do that. That, they see, is a way forward. We think we've addressed, and we will continue to address, the concerns in a way that is reasonable.
We have responded formally--I think the committee may have a copy of the letter in response--as we have responded to each of the others that have written to us.
