Thank you, Dr. Strong. Thank you for mentioning that mental health has been impacted very much.
Minister, Brampton peaked at more than 1,000 new cases in a day during the third wave, but today it was 50. This is thanks to the vaccination effort made possible by the increase in vaccine deliveries, and the work being done by health care workers and volunteers on the ground.
Last week, I was at the Caledon East Community Complex in Brampton, which is one of the largest and most active vaccine clinics in the country, administering over 5,700 doses a day.
Minister, are you optimistic that the worst of the pandemic is behind us, and that Canadians will be able to return to normal fairly soon?
