Thank you, Chair.
I'm going to follow up on a point that I raised when I was asking questions earlier. This is for the deputy minister, Mr. Lucas.
In fact, in 2022, John Hopkins University put out a study on Canada and the United States, looking at rates of death through the COVID experience on a per capita basis. I'm quoting from a report from the BBC that 279 U.S. residents have died of COVID-19 per 100,000 people compared to about 94 in Canada.
This saves you, if you wish, sir. You don't have to come back to the committee now with that data.
I wish we had longer, but could you make a quick comment on the extent to which Canada's vaccine strategy and how the approach taken here may have contributed to that outcome?
