Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions for this round will be directed to Minister Anand.
Thank you, Minister, for being here today and for your hard work and your department's hard work that you've done over the past year.
I think PSPC has been steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that Canadians have the best access to tools when it comes to fighting the virus, like PPE and vaccines. Here is a concern of mine: Canadians across the country are hearing so many different stories about Canada's position in the world with respect to vaccines. I have two questions for you. Can you tell us how we are faring? Does this have any effect on how you negotiate with vaccine companies?
Thank you.
