Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for their contributions, which help us understand the collateral damage caused by this pandemic. One of our concerns is patients who haven't had COVID-19. Physicians from the Canadian Medical Association have provided an overview that talks a lot about the management of the pandemic. We've heard very little about the collateral damage to patients who haven't had COVID-19.
Dr. Bélanger, from the Association des gastro-entérologues du Québec, recently told us that urgent matters should not cause us to lose sight of what's important. When we talk about the fight against cancer, we agree that this disease doesn't wait for pandemics or their resolution to spread.
Dr. Collins, I get the impression that you have a very clear idea of what the post-pandemic will be like. When will it take place? You said earlier that something had to be done during the pandemic, that you were pleased with the funding to deal with what happens during that time and that we would have to see afterwards, but what do you mean by “after”? When will this happen?
