Mr. Speaker, rapid testing helps save lives and keep the economy rolling.
Unfortunately, the Liberal government dragged its feet when it came to rapid testing. For instance, the Abbott ID NOW test was approved by the Canadian government on September 30, but it was approved by the United States way back on March 27. March, April, May, June, July, August and September makes six months of waiting.
Why did the government drag its feet for six months on this very important rapid test?
