Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Minister, and welcome to your officials.
It's incredible to me that we are now moving into the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic. From having worked on the front lines in the very beginning, I certainly appreciate those early days and how difficult it was to procure equipment but also vaccines. We're so far into this now, with generations of boosters.
Could you please speak to the previous actions the government took to ensure Canadians had access to enough vaccines to protect them from current and future waves?
