Thank you.
Of course, we are making all of these procurements on behalf of the Public Health Agency of Canada. Our procurements are really in support of their efforts to make sure that Canadians have the life-saving equipment and vaccines that they need.
I believe that Treasury Board has already indicated that the total envelope of funds for vaccines is about $8 billion. In terms of the individual prices per unit, we are working with the companies in terms of what they are comfortable in disclosing, but at the current time those negotiations are ongoing.
I want to be clear that I respect and believe strongly in accountability and transparency, but at the same time I want to make sure that our relationships with our vaccine suppliers are not undermined so that Canada can continue to get vaccines into this country. Those are the two items I'm balancing.
