Thank you.

In the finance committee, we don't use Zoom. We use pigeons to send messages back and forth. I'm just adapting to all of the technology here at industry.

My question is about the rate of vaccination in Canada. There are various measurements to determine the per capita rate of vaccination in comparable countries, but all of them show that there are at least 30 and perhaps as many as 50 countries that have vaccinated at much higher per capita rates than we have here in Canada. To what do you attribute this failure?
