Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Minister, you're painting these hypothetical worlds to justify a $323-million loss to the Canadian taxpayer.
Before this contract was signed either to develop the vaccine or to buy the massive number of 76 million doses, the U.S. had already approved Pfizer, so this world that you say didn't exist because you didn't know whether or not a vaccine would exist actually existed months before that. It was already approved by the U.S.
