Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Welcome to the officials.

I'm going to start with Dr. Lucas.

At a very high level in these supplementary estimates, they are asking for about $25 billion in votes. It's broken down among areas: indigenous reconciliation, immigration and strategy and COVID-19 funding, as well as the cost of public servants' salaries.

I want to focus on COVID-19. My understanding is that supplementary estimates (B) are asking for about $4.8 billion in funding for measures related to COVID-19. Can you tell me to date how much, with this additional $4.8 billion, would be the total spend or what we are planning to spend on COVID-19?
