But you have lapsed $4.2 billion, and they're asking for more money. I know the provinces could deliver this. They would do it.
There are places in the world where vaccines are being delivered 24-7. That's because they have vaccines. We're not doing that in Canada, because we don't have vaccines, so it's very frustrating for the provinces.
I'm sure the minister has been in touch with them, or the Prime Minister has, and understands that. In fact, the Prime Minister said that he talked to them 28 times this morning, but we still don't have those vaccines on enough of a delivery mechanism that we can do it on a 24-7 basis. We need to ramp up and we will ramp up, but we're months late.
I guess I will just ask the minister when the plan will come out to tell these people who are expecting elective surgeries and have been placed on elective surgery lists when they can expect to get them.
