Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I don't mean to repeat the information, but I can only share with you that the evidence fully supported the decision to implement the mandates. With respect to the timing, as I said, the evidence is constantly evolving. New studies are coming out. Dr. Poliquin was talking a moment ago about a study a few days ago on long COVID.
The information is very fluid in this pandemic that we are all living in, and we are constantly considering and reconsidering the data.
What I can say is that at the time when the government lifted the mandate, the public health evidence supported the lifting of the mandate.
