I think we can all agree that we're all pulling for the Canadiens to win the Stanley Cup this year, so let's get that on the record.
Dr. Tam, we heard some evidence this week that highlighted the federal government's failure to duly consider sex differences in immune response to infections and vaccinations in our vaccination study. A witness noted that:
Being female is also the greatest predictive risk factor for many autoimmune diseases. Women also bear the brunt of experiencing more serious adverse events related to vaccination, and we've also seen that with the COVID-19 vaccines.
By the way, we also know that women have twice as many antibodies as men.
Could you confirm if the Government of Canada is conducting sex-based dosing studies for these new gene delivery platform vaccines, and whether they're being performed for safety and efficacy?
