Thank you, Madam Minister.
I'm going to talk about the ventilators now. We heard on Monday from one of your senior officials, Mr. Mills, that you ordered 40,000 ventilators last year. At the time, I asked how many were needed, because, from the beginning, I thought that was just an unbelievable order.
Of the 40,000 ventilators in a nearly $1 billion contract, 500 were used. We have received 25,000 ventilators, so they have already been manufactured. We have no choice but to pay for them. Fifteen thousand ventilators are still to be manufactured.
Can we terminate the contract to save hundreds of millions of dollars? Can we do that?
