Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I admit that it was not just black and white with the delivery of vaccines and so forth.
The committee's role, however, is to examine the factors that led to the loss of a billion vaccine doses. That is a lot of money for the average person. We have to think of the future.
It is clear that, in March 2020, everyone had to improvise. On the other hand, we have an obligation to be better prepared for the next time. That is why it is important to have local vaccine production. I have concerns about this, though.
You are probably aware of the closure of Medicago in the Quebec City area. I would like to know why that is happening.
What can we do to preserve that company's knowledge, expertise and manpower?
Mr. Lucas, can you answer please?
