I want to hear from my minister, because I feel the Minister of Health has to be aware of the status of rapid testing in Canada. The minister makes the decisions and talks to the provincial health ministers, so it's important for him to know what the situation is with respect to the availability of rapid tests, where they come from and how many are being manufactured in Canada. I feel it's important to be aware of this information.
That brings me to another question that I also consider important: what is the current status of our national emergency stockpile, Mr. Minister? How many medical-grade masks, N95 masks and rapid tests do we have in the stockpile to face a new crisis, another omicron that could be just as dangerous? No one can predict that right now.
Mr. Minister, since you cannot answer my question about how many tests are being made or will be made in Canada, do you at least know the status of our national stockpile to deal with this crisis?
