Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member opposite's focus on prevention. Early on in the pandemic, I was asked a question about public health and prevention. I said that all governments at all levels and all stripes had failed to invest enough in prevention in public health. I stand by that statement.
This is a lesson for the world that in fact the investments we make to prevent the outbreak from happening are the ones that will pay the greatest dividends. It is hard to remember that in between pandemics. For example, investing in public housing, in health care systems, in the wellness of every citizen and reducing poverty and inequality is some of the best money that we will spend.
