Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses.
The Minister of Health said in the House last week that those who are asymptomatic cannot spread the virus. I'm glad to hear the additional information from WHO. It seems to verify that, at least to that extent.... However, the Minister of Health in China has been reported as saying that it can spread asymptomatically.
My question, then, is this. Have we contacted China directly to ask this question for clarification? As was acknowledged last week by the panel, China has the foremost knowledge about the virus. Can we not contact China directly to verify that information? It seems to me that it is a critical question that we should have a definitive answer on.
