Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good evening, Madam Minister. It's been a long time since we've seen you at a committee meeting. Welcome.
You may have guessed that I'm going to start by asking you about vaccines. I would like to understand why we learned from the New York Times that the European Union has signed an exemption agreement with 92 countries, but not with Canada. Have you negotiated to have an exemption so that we are not constantly afraid of not having our vaccines?
