Thank you, Mr. Chair. I hope you can hear me; I do not have a microphone.
My first question is for Mr. Culbert.
If I heard you correctly, Mr. Culbert, you said that there were criticisms that perhaps the public health measures were not stringent enough early on in the pandemic, and you also made reference to the difficulty of changing people's behaviour: If they're not convinced that there is a real risk, they may not comply with those public health measures.
I was wondering if you could expand a little on that, and perhaps tell us what the conversations were between the Public Health Agency of Canada, your organization and various provincial public health authorities. Could you just give us a sense of those deliberations?
