Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think it's important that the public be informed. If we're taking a look at the sense of urgency, there are matters that are urgent and important, and there are matters that are important. I'd like to remind the committee that the decision to administer the vaccine to any specific group is made by medical professionals.
In this case, in my community, it's made by the medical officer of health for the Regional Municipality of York. There seems to be a bit of a tendency for us to micromanage this situation and not give the medical professionals the credentials and the credit they deserve. I'm sure that the medical officers of health have already been in discussion with Health Canada and the advisory committee on immunization.
I think it's important, and it's important enough to give it the time it deserves, and therefore I would want us to make sure that we have the two hours available, but let's not forget that the decision to administer the vaccine is in the hands of medical professionals.
