Mr. Chair, perhaps the member doesn't realize how disruptive a pandemic has been to the process of consultations and the process of working in partnership, in particular with pharmaceutical companies that are right now pulling out all the stops to deliver vaccines for world citizens. This is the priority of our government: getting people vaccinated, making sure that we have the capacity and the tools needed to get people vaccinated to protect Canadian health. In fact, those amendments are slated to come into force on July 1.
On March 12th, 2021. See this statement in context.
