Catherine Hankins, Professor at the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health and co-chair of Canada's COVID-19 Immunity Task Force is among the experts quoted by CBC.

"Dr. Catherine Hankins, a professor of public and population health at 苹果淫院, said the decision to limit access to PCR tests is a pragmatic one.
Hankins, who is also the co-chair of Canada's COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, said the health-care system should be focused on accelerating the vaccination campaign and preparing hospitals for more patients, rather than testing."
