Mr. Desjarlais talked about risk. I feel there could be a risk to our international reputation, as a government and as a country, to secure contracts and not be in breach. It's not just about the cost of vaccines but also about proprietary information, such as manufacturing technology and related supply chains.
COVID is not yet over. We are still purchasing vaccines, so I feel that breaching our commitments will impact not just our current agreements but also future access to vaccines. Companies may not want to do business with us. They may not want to come to Canada if they don't feel the trust is there.
