Thank you.
Mr. Possamai, staying with you, we know that the final report of the independent SARS Commission in 2006 recommended very clear prescriptions for how to deal with a future pandemic. One of them, as you've pointed out several times, is that in any future infectious disease crisis, the precautionary principle should guide the development, implementation and monitoring of procedures, guidelines, processes and systems.
We've already pointed out that when it came to masks, droplet versus airborne transmission, asymptomatic transmission, community transmission, travel restrictions, border closures and emergency stockpiles, I think it's a fair comment to say that in all of those areas, if we did anything, it was that we ignored the precautionary principle and instead waited until there was actual evidence of something before we acted.
Would that be a fair characterization of Canada's response from January to date?
