Mr. Chair, I waited to take the floor to try to figure out how to synthesize all this.
Meanwhile, I managed to get a colleague to take my place. At times, I was afraid he would decide to run off. To keep him close to me, I tied him to the chair.
The fact remains that Mr. Davies is right. At some point, we adopted a plan. I remember that Mr. Berthold said—and this is why it appears in the work plan—that he did not want to dedicate all the time from now to June to his study, but that we could hold one or two meetings on the pandemic and on children's health, which would allow him to have a few more meetings for his study on children.
I think we have to remember what we discussed, otherwise we are losing time and going around in circles.
That said, I would like to suggest something to you before I see you again, potentially in the fall. Concerning the pandemic, I know that we initially did not really want to work like this. However, we told ourselves that any topic could be discussed at any meeting. So it may be worthwhile to operate by choosing one or two themes in order to have witnesses who could answer specific questions and to facilitate analysts' work.
If territories, provinces and Quebec ease the measures and lift them, it seems to me that we should consider endemicity conditions as quickly as possible.
That is what I wanted to say. I think we should adopt this as quickly as possible to be able to continue working as we adjust.
