Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would say again that Canada has done very well in responding to the pandemic in partnership with the provinces and territories. I cannot state that enough to Canadians. The success of how we've responded to this is a cooperation with the provinces and the territories, and I was the contact with them.
With regard to what we've invested, we've invested not only in 60% of the cost of the vaccine, but also in antivirals, in communication, in surveillance, in research. There are a number of investments that this government has made in response to this pandemic.
I also said to the provinces and territories, when we met in September in Winnipeg, that we will come back to the table to have a discussion, to evaluate how we are doing with the pandemic, what we learned from the pandemic, and what costs were incurred in the pandemic. But to make that commitment before we deal with this pandemic would not give you the accurate information that you would need to make a sound decision on what to do.
