I wish to talk about the asymptomatic people identified in today's presentation. Is it possible that people felt they did not have the same level of supports there? I am talking about the people who come in from abroad. Mr. Carroll identified many people as asymptomatic. Because people do not have a huge amount of supports if they go on sick leave, is it possible that people may have been afraid to come forward or take days off when they really should have taken days off? Does Mr. Carroll feel that enough support mechanisms were in place, and are in place even to this day, for workers coming into work and taking medication in order to give a different idea as to how well they really are? Does Mr. Carroll think we need to do a lot more work on this?
