Thank you, Madam Chair.
According to a November 13, 2020, Reuters article, Canada's reliance on supply contracts to obtain COVID-19 vaccines from drug manufacturers like Pfizer has put the daily lives of Canadians and the economic outlook for the coming year in the hands of a few foreign companies facing overwhelming global demand.
The article also adds that while other governments spend hundreds of millions or billions of dollars on vaccine development, Canada has spent $1 billion buying vaccine doses from abroad.
How accurate is this article?
The question is for whoever wishes to answer it.
