Thank you, Minister, for being here for two hours to take some really difficult questions on some really critical and urgent issues. I appreciate your being here.
I want to go back to the question I asked earlier about the announcement around Moderna today. They applied to Health Canada for approval for a COVID-19 vaccine for children who are aged six months to six years old. Currently, we know that children under five years old still have no access to vaccines.
Can you confirm that the government has secured the doses needed to vaccinate children under five years old? Can you outline how quickly these vaccines will be distributed to the provinces upon approval?
