Madam Chair, Australia is a mid-sized federal parliamentary democracy like ours. It has a clear road map and strategy on vaccine distribution in just 12 pages, with clear lines of responsibility between its federal government and states, outlining its options and priorities. It is also producing 30 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine domestically.
In contract, in Canada, we have a federal government that speaks in vague terms and will not give us firm answers on basic vaccine readiness.
How does the minister account for this difference in approach?
