Thank you very much for the question about vaccine hesitancy. Obviously, it's a complex issue and there are many facets to it in terms of improving vaccine confidence in Canadians overall. There are multiple facets.
First of all, we have one of the most respected and most rigorous regulatory systems in the world with our colleagues at Health Canada. I think Canadians have assurance that any vaccine approved in Canada is both safe and effective. I think that's the first step.
Certainly, mass campaigns and the press conferences that many people, including me and Dr. Tam, are involved with are also important, in terms of reinforcing key messages to Canadians about the importance of vaccination and how it benefits them in terms of protection.
We also recognize—and I think this is a key point that maybe hasn't been raised—that Canadians, in terms of getting information to improve their comfort level with vaccines.... It's not because of me personally; I think it's because they have trust in their personal health care provider. One of the important things that we're also doing, through webinars and so on, is giving the tools so that frontline health care professionals and providers feel empowered and are able to give credible information so their patients can make an informed decision regarding getting vaccinated. I think that's a key step.
Another part is that we recognize there might be different levels of reticence or vaccine hesitancy in certain racialized communities. Therefore, it's also very important to engage with community leaders in those communities. We've seen them do that, for example, in various indigenous communities. The leaders have come forward, gotten vaccinated, put it on social media and said, “Look at this. I got my vaccine. I'm protected. My family is protected. It's good for me. It's good for everyone.” Those are the kinds of things we're doing.
I would also say that, at the end of the day, there is a bit of a responsibility on every Canadian. The fact is that the Internet is a powerful tool and there's a lot of misinformation, disinformation and so on. The responsible use of the Internet, in terms of not using clickbait and making misinformation go viral, is also very important.
Finally, I want to say that—
