Thanks, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being with us today. I'll be splitting my time with my colleague Mr. Erskine-Smith.
My question goes to Ms. Gomel.
I know that many of us have asked you about border reopenings, especially for fully vaccinated people. Currently, as it stands, on July 5, rules will be changing for Canadians and permanent residents who are fully vaccinated upon entry to Canada. However, we know that there's no talk of anyone else being allowed to enter Canada.
You've said that you really don't have much of a say in this matter but that you provide science and you provide the minister with information. Are you ever able to have a more involved role in that kind of conversation?
I'll ask my second question now. With regard to interprovincial travel, which is the role that you said you play, and promoting interprovincial travel, when certain provinces still haven't accepted this going forward for the summer, what are your plans on encouraging provinces to open their borders, at least to other Canadians? In what capacity are you able to do this?
