Mr. Chair, on Friday the minister of industry was unwilling to answer a question put to him by a CBC reporter on the number of imported masks from China that were actually defective. Instead, he talked about strong domestic capacity. I'm interested in his quantifying what exactly that means, because the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, my colleague Brad Redekopp and others have stated that domestic PPE supply will be needed in order for workers to be protected and the economy to safely reopen.
How much is Canadian industry producing right now? I notice that the minister didn't talk about masks. I'm just wondering what that delta is between importation and domestic supply, and whether Canadian businesses are going to have to be reliant on potentially defective masks from China to reopen their businesses.
