Thank you, Doctor.
Normally I don't comment on other countries' domestic policies, but ours seems to be a topic of interest to our neighbours. I'm concerned about what we see in the U.S. in terms of government decisions at times not guided by science and guided by other information.
How do we deal with that postpandemic? How do we deal with it from an education perspective? I think Dr. Runte says 57% of youth suggested that we continue to be guided by science, which is a bit of a concerning number. I thought it would have been a lot higher—unless I misheard that.
How does the government make investments to ensure that the vast majority of Canadians continue to believe that policies at all levels of government should be guided by science? How do we implement that from a funding perspective and an education perspective?
