Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to dive into something that's complicated. I have to try to get my own head around the way I frame it.
When we're talking about the evidence base around vaccine mandates, oftentimes we're having debates here in the House about mandates, but not so much the evidence base around vaccines. I think there's a fairly widespread—maybe not unanimous, but very widespread—agreement among 338 members of Parliament around the evidence on vaccines.
My question is for Dr. Warshawsky. Does NACI advise the government on evidence around vaccine mandates particularly, or is the decision to mandate vaccinations more of a policy decision based on the evidence around vaccines?
