Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the rest of the committee for their vociferous, yet traditional confidence in electing me the vice-chair. I really appreciate it, of course.
Thank you very much to the members of PHAC and NACI, and others who have come here today.
Certainly, the anxiety level with respect to COVID in the minds of Canadians has subsided, but of course the ever-burgeoning threat of things moving indoors and the increased risk is there.
Along that line of questioning, perhaps I'll go back, Dr. Tam, to something we've talked about multiple times before. Hopefully this time you'll be able to shed some light on this for all Canadians. If we are talking about increasing measures with respect to perhaps access and mask wearing, etc., I believe that Canadians want to know which metrics or benchmarks the Public Health Agency of Canada will be using to make those decisions.
I realize that previously you have told this committee multiple times that it's much too complicated for us to understand. I take that with great umbrage, of course, but would appreciate your comments with respect to that today.
