Thank you very much.
You have captured the situation well, I think. If I could raise it one level, in general, governments of all stripes in all countries do not put the emphasis on prevention and early warning systems.
Speaking specifically to Canada, we have not done a good job of using the knowledge that we have, whether it's from SARS or H1N1, or of looking at some of the work maybe outside of Canada, like that by Bill Gates. That work was predicting a pandemic in 2015, I believe. There were many signals that many countries, including Canada, should have looked at and should have been better prepared with.
In Canada itself, I've said this before and I'll say it with a note of optimism, because you have an industry represented here by me and by my colleague that is ready to engage with government to have these tough conversations.... We appreciate that it's industry. There's always a bit of tension there, but we do believe that there's a much better solution for Canadians when industry and government are talking regularly with one another. That has not been the case. I do believe that it has been a factor in all of the decisions that have been made along the way.
Again, we have global leaders who are used to meeting with Boris Johnson—in deference to our colleague from the U.K. who is here—and with Emmanuel Macron, U.S. President Biden, Prime Minister Suga, etc. They are confounded as to why they've not been able to get a meeting here in Canada, so that is, I believe, a significant part of this.
