Thank you, Mr. Chair. Your French is excellent. It's very nice to hear you.
My thanks to the witnesses. I must admit that it's great to hear about good practices. I commend the work that's been done at all stages, particularly in your case, Ms. Barrett. As you explained so well, we in Quebec saw a lot of enthusiasm for volunteering. People came together to support the community. They even created a website called jebenevole.ca. People were so supportive that it was hard to manage all the volunteers willing to help the community.
With respect to how quickly action was taken, I confess that I was also outraged at the two-month delay that we had to deal with. I'm thinking of the lives that could have been saved.
We are now in the third wave. I hear a lot of people saying that government actions are grossly inadequate. Mr. Garner's comments are very specific, and I thank him for that.
Ms. Barrett, I would also like to hear your comments about how quickly governments took action. I would also like to hear what you have to say about rules and communications, that is, the whole issue of government public relations in all the provinces and in Quebec.
