Good morning, Minister Champagne. Welcome to the committee and to your new role. I look forward to working with you.
INDU is going to play a very important role in the economic rebound. You have your hands full. There is lots of work to be done in your portfolio.
I want to start by talking a little about your previous role and getting your input on CanSino and the difficulties that have now come to light with the Chinese government restricting the vaccines coming back into Canada.
When were you aware there were issues with the deal with CanSino?
