Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The government is working on a number of pathways, as I had previously responded. The government has distributed a significant number of rapid tests to provinces and territories—that started in the fall—and worked to provide guidance and support on their use.
We have been providing rapid tests directly to employers working in critical sectors where there's a risk of infection in the workplace. We've been working as well with pharmacies to distribute rapid tests to small and medium-sized enterprises. We've been supporting the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in a program where they partner with provinces to be able to distribute rapid tests to small businesses. We've been supporting the Canadian Red Cross, as well, who are working with not-for-profit organizations and community organizations and settings, such as homeless shelters, to be able to use rapid tests in those environments.
We see this multipronged effort as really helping to be able to identify those cases and follow up with action, as I'd noted in the case of Nova Scotia.
