Thank you, Mr. Chair, and hello to my colleagues from coast to coast to coast.
I have a couple of things.
I am thankful for the Auditor General's report and her findings. [Technical difficulty—Editor] having this meeting and putting the facts on the table. From so many meetings we've had with different witnesses from different walks of life, people who are dealing with this pandemic head-on, we know things change, and they change rapidly. Science is like that. Thank goodness we have not just the scientists and the researchers but a variety of frontline health care workers working on this.
I look forward to the discussion. I look forward, at the same time, to having a very robust discussion on the science and the facts and to leaving a lot of the other things at the table, where facts and science need to be the most pre-eminent.
I'm appreciative of it, and I'm looking forward to getting to the facts and to a very concrete discussion on the motion.
Thank you.
