I'll start in and hopefully get to some points that are important to you.
First of all, I really welcome the fact that we have a parliamentary health research caucus that is non-partisan. It has leaders from all parties. It gives us an opportunity to bring the latest health research and innovation topics to Parliament and to policy-makers. In fact, we consult to hear what some of the most important themes are on the minds of people with constituents they're representing.
I think it's safe to say that health is on all of our minds, all the time, whether it's our own, our loved ones', our colleagues' or the people we represent. It's a great privilege to be able to bring the latest. I think that the pandemic actually, in many ways, increased Canadians' focus on the importance of health research. We had a very incredible response with mission-driven and rapid response research. The government worked across departments with companies—huge multinational pharmaceutical companies—and with innovation and research hubs at universities all across the country. Every part of this country was involved in that response. We've come out with lessons learned that will make us even stronger the next time.
