Thank you, Madam Chair. So Madam Chair, this is part of a much longer term strategy that's in place -- or that's getting underway now to address some of the foundational issues around providing better digital care and better access to digital records. That's certainly -- you know, and to jump ahead as to how it is that the federal government is paying attention to this, certainly I -- with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, all jurisdictions saw the need to ramp themselves up to a situation where they could provide better digital care.
So while I can't see into the minds of the federal government, I would think that may well have factored in to it. And this is specific to -- specifically to do things such as interrelated information systems for virtual care. So, for example, if someone is seeing a medical professional outside of this jurisdiction, we want to make sure that the records can be compatible and easily transferred or shared but still maintaining the confidentiality over medical records. And medical records, as well as public health information such as vaccine pass -- or vaccine -- proof of vaccines. Thank you, Madam Chair.
