There the witnesses have it. Members asked a lot of interesting and important questions. There is one question Mr. Andrews might answer for me as well. We have not spoken about the government response in these areas where there is a department of health. I hear stories of ministers leaving the country and that there is no plan put in place by government officials. Maybe Dr. Fitzpatrick would also comment on the earlier comments I made about local health officials not having resources or being trained properly. I will leave it up to the witnesses to comment on the variety of questions. It was a good way to deal with it because they have all the questions. Does Mr. Andrews want to kick-start it?
