Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to begin by thanking all our witnesses for taking the time to be here with us today to answer our questions, and for all their contributions to helping us get to the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic, at least this phase we're in right now.
Dr. Nemer, thank you for being here and for everything you've done so far.
I know you had expressed concern with delaying the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, as you believe it could perhaps create or cause variants to occur or to appear. Do you still hold the same views, and have you recommended to the Government of Canada that it interfere with the provinces, such as the Province of Quebec, for example, where they are not necessarily following guidelines that have been offered by the pharmaceutical companies?
