Mr. Arun Thangaraj at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I don't want to speak for my colleagues at the Public Health Agency of Canada, but as part of their analysis they do look at the epidemiological situation in other countries. There are consultations with provincial medical officers of health as well.

All of the measures that are put in place are based on full consultations with our colleagues at GAC and PHAC. They are very mindful, not only of the epidemiological situation but also of the measures that are in place internationally.
