I think opening up the levels of care as quickly as possible is what's going to help our cancer patient community most of all. As for the decisions that are being made about how to prioritize, I will leave them in the hands of the health care leaders to do that well and to follow some of the guidance that has been created by organizations like the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer and the surgical oncology associations that have provided more prioritization guidance.
I just want mention that the thing that really helps people in the long term is research, so while we have these immediate needs that people face, there is also the larger question of research and what's happening with it, which we've talked about today. Here, I just want to say that, as a funder of research, the request for the wage subsidy program to cover researchers is very important because we see the investment that we make in research and the donations that people have given to us that go towards research. Maintaining those research teams is vital to that long-term outcome.
We've also been part of the more than 40 organizations who've been calling on the government to please consider opening up the wage subsidy program to cover hospital-based researchers. We see it as essential for that long-term health outcome for Canadians.
