Thank you, everyone, for being here today.
I have a few questions for you.
The supplementary estimates seek approval for $13.4 billion in spending, in particular for emergency responses to the pandemic, including medical research and vaccine development.
How do you explain the fact that supplementary estimates (A) and (B), or even the main estimates, didn't include enough money for vaccine research and development?
It isn't surprising that we need to invest in this area. We've seen other countries, especially Great Britain and the United States, invest heavily.
Why haven't we planned for this? Why do we need the supplementary estimates (C) to plan for this?
