Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you all for outlining your concerns.
I'm going to put a number of questions out there, and we won't have time for all.
First, what are the key remaining challenges in terms of medical surge and vaccine distribution? Have we looked at the modelling for surge capacity at 15%, 35% of the population affected? In the United States, they've used a higher number to model. What percentage of our provinces could exceed 80% of their capacity or more? I think this is another real issue we have to look at.
Ms. Silas, you talked about this. What are the discrepancies we're hearing at the different levels, whether it's the federal, local, or professional organizations?
We want medical professionals to feel safe to come to work. Are we meeting our legal and ethical responsibilities, duty to care?
