Thank you to our Minister of Health for coming back to the health committee to answer these questions.
I will be sharing my time with Wladyslaw Lizon, so I'll try to get two questions in as quickly as I can. There are two important matters I want to raise.
One is the issue of priority access for vaccines. We held a health committee meeting a few months ago, and there were firefighters who mentioned that they were listed in the secondary list and were not able, in many cases, to get first access despite working as a first responder, side by side with paramedics and other EMS officials.
Does the Government of Canada have any plans to work with the provinces and territories to rectify the concern raised to us by firefighters?
