Thank you, Madam Chair, and my thanks to our presenters here this afternoon.
This is an issue that we have been studying for quite some time, and rightly so. When we meet with different people, we get different perspectives. We're learning, and that's good. What we're hearing is encouraging. I think that we're going in the right direction.
It's also encouraging to hear people such as Dr. Kumar say that we're making progress. But I don't think anybody is going to say we're ready, and that's a wise thing. That is a good position to be in. I don't think we ever will know if we're ready. We need to have a fluid plan that will keep evolving as situations arise and we react to them. The readiness plan is to put as many different things in place as we can so we can react in many different ways. That's what we've been trying to do, and according to the people we've spoken with, we are heading in the right direction. We're not there, as everyone would agree, but we are going in the right direction.
We've been very strong on collaborating with the provinces and the territories. All the pandemic planning lays out a hierarchy, if you want to call it that, for different levels of government to be doing different things. That's extremely important for everybody to realize. No level of government is capable of supplying everyone and being everything to everybody.
We've been working to make sure these strategies are put in place in the other jurisdictions. We've released some interim guidance on infection prevention and control measures for health care workers and emergency workers. Could you elaborate on that, Ms. Lynkowski? Do you have an involvement in it?
