Thank you to all the panellists for answering our questions.

I represent Brampton South. Our city recently declared a health care emergency. Our only hospital is functioning at more than capacity. While the risk of coronavirus is low, is there any plan in place such that, if an outbreak happened...? A health emergency has already been declared. We have a population of 650,000 and only one hospital. What kind of plan is in place?

My question is for Dr. Eileen de Villa. You have served in the Peel area. We already have a shortage of health care services.
