Canada's chief science adviser says the government should review its COVID-19 response to prepare for future health challenges.

Mona Nemer said the government needs to respect and understand people's feelings about COVID-19 measures.

People are angry for different reasons, including lost livelihoods and loved ones. The government needs to understand these reasons.

Nemer said the review must be apolitical and focused on specific questions.

People often forget the benefits of vaccines and the lives they saved.

The world is not ready for another pandemic.

Nemer said the government needs the right context and mindset to review its COVID-19 response.

A Conservative MP is planning an inquiry into the pandemic, focusing on vaccine injuries.

Manitoba is reviewing its COVID-19 response, but with limited focus.

The inquiry will be non-partisan and include MPs from all parties.

Nemer said trust in authorities is decreasing, which is a concern.

She said people distrust when they don't understand or their perspectives are not discussed.

Nemer is also concerned about the global response to other infectious diseases like Ebola.

The Ebola outbreak is growing, with over 4,000 confirmed cases.

Nemer said there were no diagnostics ready to detect Ebola, making containment harder.

Nova Scotia was chosen to test a new Ebola vaccine.

The Ebola death toll has passed 1,500 in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Nemer said the global community has not learned key lessons from COVID-19.

Pandemic preparedness should be part of routine health services, not a standalone concept.

Nemer said other diseases like mpox and bird flu still pose significant threats.

She said we cannot declare victory over COVID-19 and move on.

Canada has approved a trial for an mRNA Ebola vaccine.

Nemer acknowledged collective fatigue but said preparing for future outbreaks is crucial.

The pandemic has taught us about the need to develop public trust during peacetime.

Trust cannot be developed during a crisis, so it's essential to start building it now.
