Madam Chair, I will finish my answer to the last question, because it is important.
In fact, early on we realized as a country that we were going to need to two things: one, boost domestic production of PPE; and two, act incredibly rapidly and acquire PPE from around the world in what the Deputy Prime Minister has called the “wild west”. That is exactly what we did. We left nothing on the table. We spent billions of dollars to procure PPE and to stimulate domestic production to protect health care workers and other health care professionals.
It is paying off. We have a fairly stable supply of PPE. There are still shortages with specific types of PPE, but we work very closely with provinces and territories to fill those gaps, and we are in a much stronger position now.
