Mr. Speaker, obviously, other countries have taken a different approach. Their approach is to vaccinate the entire population, while we came to the conclusion, following consultations with experts in the field, that here in Canada, we will only vaccinate groups at risk, and confine these people.
We have procured the vaccine required for this need. If the entire population needed to be vaccinated, we could meet this objective using the dilution factor.
This is a choice that we made based on consultations with experts who suggested it. This is also, incidentally, the approach suggested to us by the World Health Organization. We are fully aware that other countries have preferred to take a different approach.
I thank my colleague for having raised this issue, to let all Canadians know where we are at on this issue.
