I'm going to switch to Mr. McKay from Google.

We've heard here tonight that 60% to 80% is required for tracing apps to be effective. In the U.S., the adoption rate appears to be quite low. NBC recently reported that the highest usage is at around 2%, in South Dakota. Why do you think it is so low, and, how can you make the case to Canadians that these apps will be effective and useful as well as respectful of their privacy?
