Thank you to all of the witnesses for joining us today—the same day we received the news of the approval of the AstraZeneca vaccine by Health Canada.

Mr. Chair, I want to begin my round of questioning with a few brief questions for our witnesses to set the record straight for Canadians watching.

Mr. Stewart, most of the GTA is presently under a stay-at-home order. Is it correct to say that the Province of Ontario, not the federal government, imposed it based on consultations with regional and provincial public health experts?
