Thank you, Madam Chair.
What is happening right now is that we have to look at exactly the case of today; we can go back into history, if one wishes.
I understand where the Liberals are at this particular point in time. They believe they might be able to find a point in time at which they can blame Harper, but quite frankly, this goes back 20 years, with the issues and problems that existed.
This is not something we need a history lesson on. What we need to do is look at what is happening at this particular point in time. We've had five years in which many different changes have taken place that have put us in a very negative position.
I remember listening last night to Moderna speaking about how they will be able to get us to the front of a particular line in making some of these vaccines available to us. Any major company is going to talk nicely about where the government has been, but quite frankly, I heard from those discussions that we're going to have to depend on other countries.
It's a situation in which we have to look at where we are right now: we have so many great companies that have fallen by the wayside. I think it's important for us to get at this right away and talk about today's issue, not go back 20 or 30 years to try to get a history lesson.
