Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to reiterate the first question I asked about two hours ago.
I asked the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians if they had been contacted by Public Health to work collaboratively on COVID-19. They said they hadn't. Then one of the Liberal members indicated that they had talked to the minister in March, two months after we had been raising that this was an urgent issue. The response from the emergency physicians was that it wasn't actually a meeting on COVID-19 or the public health aspect of it.
To the members on the other side, this is a non-partisan committee. This is something we're trying to do collaboratively with each other to better support and better advise the government. I just ask the members on the other side, when the minister's office sends them an urgent email to read into the committee record, that they certainly don't have to do that. All it does is that it ends up essentially embarrassing them and the government at hand, because, quite frankly, this is a committee that's trying to better support and get better advice for the government so we can work together to do better for Canadians.
I appreciate at least the clarification from the emergency physicians on that.
My last question before my time is up, Mr. Chair, is for Dr. Buchman.
We've been hearing that there has been a lack of modelling data provided. I'm just curious as to whether your association has been receiving any of the national modelling data to know what to prepare your association and your members for.
