Madam Chair, as the member opposite knows and has heard, the Prime Minister has made the commitment. We have been investing in the capacity of Canada to grow its biomanufacturing sector.
Having said that, we cannot wait for that sector to be ready. We must be able to deliver vaccines when they are available. That is why we have purchase agreements with seven vaccine providers, three of which have already applied for regulatory approval. This is good news for Canadians because we know that as vaccines become ready, available and safe, Canadians will have access to them.
