I'm going to ask you a question I asked a previous panel member. Last Thursday, the co-chair of the federal vaccine task force, Mark Lievonen, told the industry committee that domestically producing and supplying a COVID-19 vaccine was never possible before the end of 2021. Those were his exact words.
We all know that the Prime Minister issued a press release on August 31 saying that the National Research Council would be producing 250,000 doses per month in November and millions by the end of 2020. I'm just trying to get a straight answer from someone. Did Canada have the capacity to produce vaccines in 2020 or didn't we?
