Mr. Speaker, the H1N1 pandemic is now in full bloom in Canada. Canadians are scared. Over the last couple of weeks, Canadians have been getting sick and Canadian children have been dying. The pandemic train has left the station.
Unfortunately, the immunization program has just arrived in chaos. Why have other countries like the United States been able to roll this out weeks in advance? Even countries such as China have begun immunization weeks before Canada. Perhaps the parliamentary secretary could answer.
The minister had said that, by Christmas, not a single person would be left out. Would the parliamentary secretary be able to look in the eyes of the parents of children, the 13-year-old and the 10-year-old who have already died, and all those Canadians who will get sick and die over the next couple of months and say that this is truly good enough?
