Thank you, Mr. Chair. I hope it goes a little bit smoother than it did last week.
I'll begin by thanking all of you witnesses and everyone within your associations for working extremely hard during this pandemic. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts sincerely. I also want to ask questions today in order to better support and better advise the government on gaps. Again, I appreciate everybody being here at least virtually.
The world is facing a supply shortage because every country is planting itself in a position of trying to procure the same items. I'm going to go across the table with this question, starting with the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, then the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, then the CMA and then the CPhA. When was your organization first contacted by the Public Health Agency and Health Canada to work collaboratively on COVID-19?
