Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Curtis‑Micallef, the minister spoke earlier about saving lives through a connected health care system. I would like us to talk about another thing that saves lives: vaccines. Allow me to remind you that Canada is the only G7 country that was unable to produce its own vaccine.
In the latest federal budget, titled “Canada Strong”, what investments have been planned to enable Canada to produce its own vaccine if, unfortunately, we were to face another pandemic one day?
