Thank you very much. I want to thank all the witnesses for coming today. Obviously they represent so many of our front-line health care workers who are doing such extraordinary work. I'm so glad that we have the opportunity to hear you today and learn from you.
I want to make sure that everyone has understood that our government is extremely interested in hearing from everyone. I see in some of the background information with which I've been provided that apparently there was a meeting with the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians in March. Obviously, neither of our witnesses today was present, since they mentioned that, but every effort is being made, as I understand it, and this was reinforced last week when we heard from officials from the various agencies involved in this pandemic that they were extremely anxious to listen, learn and adapt in this rapidly evolving situation.
I would like to clarify a point from Dr. Ovens. In terms of the consistent messaging that you were asking for, it seemed to particularly involve public health messaging, in terms of the advice that should be given across the country. I was wondering if you could clarify, exactly, the piece about the need for a national standard.
