Mr. Speaker, I would like to conclude by noting that, thanks to years of planning, Canada was ready to respond.
First, we made the right investments in public health capacity, science and pandemic preparedness. Second, we have been fortunate to have negotiated a long-term agreement with a domestic vaccine supplier to meet all of our vaccine needs in the event of a pandemic. Third, we have been fortunate to have such an excellent collaboration in Canada across all levels of government. We have been fortunate to have the decisive leadership necessary to manage this outbreak without panic and in a deliberate, evidence informed manner.
Mr. Speaker, I will take this opportunity to wish you, your family and the member opposite a very merry Christmas.
