Thank you, Madam Chair.
As a scientist, I am struggling with the power of one: one Gates study, one vaccine, and the course changes. This is generally not how science is done. It's a build-up of evidence.
We have repeatedly heard about the need for a vaccine. On the last day, this was described as a missed opportunity. Today, people are confused as to why this process didn't lead to a decision about a Canadian research organization, when we have such talent in Canada. So I'm going to come back to process.
Ms. Medwick, I am concerned when a government employee makes a recommendation to an independent board. How did that make you feel?
