Thank you, Chair, and thank you very much to the witnesses. Certainly, it's interesting at this panel to hear all of your statements from very different perspectives. Hopefully, we'll be able to have a rich discussion.
I'm a former family physician. One of the things that make me most sad is really understanding the plight of children in this country, and how government is failing them in terms of the financial needs they have at the current time. We know that's been declining.
Dr. Salami, I have a question for you. It's specifically related to the pandemic. You talked about particular difficulties that children from racialized communities may have experienced during the pandemic. At some point, I suspect that this committee, or perhaps Parliament as a whole, will need to address the pandemic response.
What I would like to hear from you, if I could, is this. What do you think we should have done differently during the pandemic?
