Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank my colleague for giving me the opportunity to ask a question. Actually, the question goes to all the witnesses.
As you know, Quebec was hit harder at the beginning of the pandemic last year. This was due to the fact that we had spring break earlier than other provinces, but also because we were close to the North American epicentre of the pandemic, New York State.
In light of that, do you think it would have been a good idea for the government to immediately stop all air and land border crossings, including those by the passenger buses that frequently travel between the two countries? Should the government have acted quickly to do that?
I'm referring to one of the witnesses who said earlier that the government was not prepared for the pandemic, unlike other countries such as Australia or New Zealand. After all, we should have learned from the SARS outbreak we had previously experienced.
So should we have acted sooner?
