Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague.
Let us not forget that we are currently going through a protracted health crisis that is affecting us all. Many have lost a friend, family member or colleague. We ourselves could also get sick and die from this. There is always a risk; anyone can die from it.
Compared to many other countries, Canada is lagging behind when it comes to testing technologies. For instance, the Abbott ID NOW test has been available in the United States since the spring, but it was not approved here until late September.
Why does my colleague think we are seeing such unacceptable delays?
