Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Minister and Madam Minister, thank you for being with us this morning to answer our questions.
My first question is for Minister Champagne, but I invite Minister Anand to add to the answer if she wishes.
Canada's strategy has two components. First, we have the supply strategy and, second, we have the domestic biomanufacturing strategy. To date, all that we have announced to Canadians is that we will fight COVID-19 with two doses of vaccine for every Canadian by September.
How will vaccine production here in Canada help us reach our goals even faster?
Do you believe we could count on Novavax to achieve our objectives before September? Do you feel it's more of a long-term solution, that is, it could help us subsequently, if the first two doses don't work, or if the virus comes back even stronger?
