Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses.
It would be very interesting if you could submit your speeches today and, if you wish, add comments in light of the questions you'll be asked.
My first question is for Dr. Dorian.
My blood ran cold as I listened to your testimony. It goes without saying that cardiology treats a vital organ. A number of witnesses have come to tell us that the health care systems that were weakened before a pandemic such as the one we are experiencing, given its severity, were in bad shape. Before this pandemic, the system was barely able to properly treat and care for people.
I understand your concern about collecting information, but based on what you know today, how long do you think it will take to restore the situation and resume care for patients with acute and chronic cardiac problems?
