Basically, this is provincial jurisdiction. The federal oversight is to try to coordinate and ensure that people have access to the tools they need and the information they need, that we do have a safe, effective vaccine as quickly as possible, that we have joint stockpiles, that we have plans in place, and that we have all of these things. At the end of the day, we have senior public health professionals in every jurisdiction in this country. We have ministers, we have governments, we have others, and they are quite competent to actually deliver this.
