Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just want to go back to Dr. Barrett.
Dr. Barrett, I really like your four points. The speed, the distance, the awareness and getting people engaged are key.
I want to know how rapid testing fit into the model of the maritime bubble. Was it used extensively?
We are behind in vaccines compared to many of our G7 country colleagues, and vaccines weren't used as readily as they could have been.
I wonder if rapid tests were used more in the Maritimes. These other issues of distance and awareness are great, but I think the speed of response is one of the key issues. Could you expand on how rapid tests fit into that?
I know the government has made an announcement just today, but my colleague has been calling for this for over 10 months. We still have increasing numbers, so I wonder if rapid tests could be used in the variant areas as well.
