Thank you, Madam Chair.
At the risk of repeating myself, I also want to thank you. I certainly watched all of you operate in your own provinces. Even though I'm from Ontario, it's in all of our interests to see all Canadians do well and succeed and be healthy.
I'm interested in the governance and how the relationship with Elections New Brunswick.... Perhaps I could start with you, Dr. Russell. I know the writ was dropped on August 17. That's just the fact. I'm wondering whether Elections New Brunswick reached out to you prior to the writ being dropped, or whether they reached out to you on the 17th and said, “Oops, now that we have an election coming, how do we prepare to make sure we can have safe elections?”
