Given the time, I think maybe Mr. Clarke may not have time with this, but if he does....
I want to say that I agree with the grand chief. I think it's very important that everyone works together and that, as these plans move forward, we do have the opportunity to make sure they're tested.
I do have a question, Dr. Kettner, because I understand the Government of Canada and the Province of Manitoba have been working very closely together on the pandemic preparedness for Manitoba first nations communities. I know that Minister Aglukkaq has had many teleconferences with her colleague Minister Oswald. During the first wave we worked together, and we monitored and were able to relocate human health resources such as nursing staff and physicians to those communities most in need. We also coordinated our efforts through tripartite planning tables with the Province of Manitoba and first nations.
I was wondering, would you agree that we do have an effective, collaborative relationship?
