Thank you.
My thanks again to all of you for being here.
I want to go back to a topic we discussed at a previous session. It has to do with health and safety concerns of nurses and other health care workers on the front lines, particularly with respect to their feeling that to be consistent with the precautionary principle, the N95 masks should have been considered as a national standard across this country.
Dr. Butler-Jones, whenever we've raised this in the past, you've said it's not necessary because we're talking about something spread through droplets. Some of us were recently at a session here put on by the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions. There was a fairly prominent speaker by the name of Mario Possamai, who was a senior adviser with the SARS Commission. He gave us an in-depth presentation on the importance of lessons from SARS, the need to rely on the precautionary principle, and the need for us not to get caught up in splitting hairs.
He thought that, rather than arguing about droplets, we ought to ensure that the strongest precautionary mechanism was being used. Have you had any change of thought on this issue?
