Perfect.

I just have one last, quick question for you. On January 8, you stated, “we need to be able to show to the vaccine companies that Canada is indeed following the instructions that a second dose be administered in a certain time frame.” We're now hearing, through the government, of a four-month delay for the second dose.

How do you reconcile those two comments: one, that you want to stick to what the vaccine companies are saying; and now, that it's okay to wait four months?

See context to find out what was said next.
