Thank you.
In my view, the rollout of the pandemic plan has gone very well in Canada. Canada has been seen as a world leader in responding to this pandemic. I said in my opening comments that the success of how we rolled out the pandemic plan in this country comes from years of planning. At the same time, with the cooperation of the provinces and territories, we've done very well in addressing the rollout of the vaccines in provinces and territories.
We continue to work with them. We are in weekly contact with the provinces and territories, and I can say that the contingency and investments that were made in Canada--the billions of dollars that were invested--were rolled out. The communications, antivirals, enhanced emergency response, and surveillance of the outbreaks were also investments that were made. I can say that there were no cuts to that funding that the member makes reference to.
We will continue to work with the provinces and territories in the rollout and evaluate how we've done once we get through this pandemic.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
