Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the minister and the officials for being with us. I know we may disagree on certain policies and be critical at times, but I want to take a moment to thank you, Minister. I know that being the lead minister at a time of a global pandemic is not easy, so I thank you for your service to all of us.
Minister, first I'll direct you to vaccines. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has released a vaccine distribution strategy that sets a target date of November 15 for states to be ready for COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
Does Canada have a target readiness date for vaccine distribution and, if so, what is that date?
