Obviously we didn't focus on rural Canadians. What we did was look at whether or not the Public Health Agency had worked through that sort of cohesive enforcement regime. As we've been saying this morning, that wasn't thought through when the measures were put in place. Having clear guidance that's well understood comes with good monitoring and a good enforcement regime to ensure that it's being followed. One of the good lessons learned as we move into the next wave or start planning for another health crisis that will come our way is that enforcement has to be cohesive if you want it to be effective across the whole country.
