Thank you.
Madame Demarais, last week the European Union blocked a shipment of the AstraZeneca vaccine destined for Australia after the drug manufacturer failed to meet its EU contract commitments. According to Reuters, the EU is also planning to extend this export authorization scheme for COVID-19 vaccines to the end of June.
You were quoted in a BBC article, Madame Demarais, as saying, “As long as the European market doesn't have enough vaccines, I think that big imports to Canada are going to remain off the cards.” Do you expect that future vaccine deliveries to Canada may be disrupted by EU export controls?
