Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Strong, I guess Mr. Cannings and I are sitting too close to each other, because we have the same kind of question.
I wanted to talk about the research being done on COVID to create a vaccine, and yet it seemed like this government decided not to fund universities any further and went for the big pharmaceutical companies.
My question is this: Is it purely because we didn't have the manufacturing capabilities, or do you feel that they didn't value our research, or is it because we wouldn't be recognized across the world by making our own vaccine at home?
