Thank you.
As we were saying earlier, this was true before COVID-19, with all sorts of pressures that I had mentioned, again because of technology, certainly because of the aging of the population, the greater incidence of chronic diseases and their higher costs, the ever-higher costs of drugs across Canada and issues of equity of access to health care in many of our provinces and territories. That's why we have been not only effective but certainly collaborative in working with provinces and territories in doing what we had to do to help everyone go through this crisis.
As we emerge from it, as we exit omicron and prepare and protect against any possible variant that could come afterward, we also need to build for the future, as you've said, and invest in all of those priorities that provinces and territories have signalled to us over the last few months.
