Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning, Minister Champagne and Minister Anand.
My first question is for Minister Anand.
Your colleague Minister McKenna was once filmed in a bar saying that, when you repeat the same thing in oral question period, people end up believing it.
Your strategy is to say that Canada has reserved the largest batch of vaccines, with 400 million potential doses from seven companies. These are really just political answers. There are actually agreements in place with only two manufacturers so far: Pfizer and Moderna.
You, and the Prime Minister in particular, are all hammering home that every Canadian who wants the vaccine will receive it by early or late September. We find that hard to believe. How can you say that when there are currently delivery delays?
