Thank you for answering that, but that is different from the statement, and even reading the language in the statement.... That's not what's said there, so I would encourage you to clarify that. I'm glad you did on that question.
Dr. Poliquin, you stated during your presentation that you are now putting together a team of representatives from PHAC, virologists and epidemiologists, to look at a strategy to address the variants. I would think every expert would have known that the COVID-19 virus was going to mutate and that dealing with variants was going to be a problem, which is one of the reasons we're here.
I'm a little shocked that we're a year into this and that this has only happened now. Why is this team only being put together now to deal with variants when this is something that I think should have been addressed much earlier?
