I call this meeting back to order.
We are resuming meeting number 42 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health. The committee is meeting today to study the emergency situation for Canadians in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses. From the Department of Health, we have Dr. Stephen Lucas, deputy minister; from the Department of Public Works and Government Services, Mr. Bill Matthews, deputy minister; from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, Dr. Matthew Tunis, executive secretary; from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Mr. Iain Stewart, president, Dr. Theresa Tam, chief public health officer, and Brigadier-General Krista Brodie, vice-president, logistics and operations. From the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, we have Mr. Rob Stewart, deputy minister.
With that, thank you to all for being here. We appreciate your time.
We will go straight to questions, starting with Mr. Barlow for six minutes.
