Thanks.
Mr. Chair, if I might, you know, clearly Canada was falling behind before the pandemic, and I would say that we wouldn't need to spend much time or effort to understand that things have gotten only worse, not better. I guess the questions that then beg to be asked are, what are we going to do about it and when are we going to do it? How long are we going to study things before we go into action? The patient, unfortunately, is hemorrhaging on the table, and we're all watching it happen. What are we going to do about it?
That's for anybody who's in charge there. Department of Health, I would suggest maybe that's for you, or maybe it's for the Public Health Agency.
