Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Champagne, I welcome you in this new role.
I am new to this committee, so I will be watching you, Ms. Anand.
You just compared vaccine procurement to Project Apollo. I am instead tempted to say, “Houston, we have a problem.” Something isn't right.
Ms. Anand, my question is for you.
Today, The Economist is reporting that Canada is dreaming in technicolour and that the vaccine delivery we want will not materialize. We have not received any vaccines over the past three weeks.
According to you, your portfolio is amazing, and you have done extraordinary things.
However, if we take the global vaccine production capacity into account, is it really realistic to think that we will have vaccinated Canada's entire population of 38 million people by September?
