Thank you.

Thank you to the ministers for being with us.

Ms. Anand, I will begin with you.

We know that we are not producing any vaccine doses in Canada currently. We also know that AstraZeneca agreed to allow countries that bargained with it to produce vaccines domestically. Countries like Mexico, Australia, Japan, South Korea, India and others have done so and are producing AstraZeneca vaccines in those countries.

Did Canada seek this right when we were bargaining our agreement with AstraZeneca?
