Thank you. Fair enough.
Minister Champagne, you have said repeatedly that we expect to have the Novavax production before the end of this year. I must point out that this is not the first time we've heard this.
On August 31, 2020, the Prime Minister's Office issued a press release promising “production of 250,000 doses of vaccine per month” starting last November, with “up to two million doses per month” by the end of last year. Of course, on November 24, he stated that Canada couldn't meet that because we had no domestic production capacity for vaccines.
With respect, Minister Champagne, why should Canadians have any more confidence in this latest assurance, when the last one proved to be completely wrong?
