Madam Chair, I will share my time with my colleague from Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry.
I would like to talk about Pfizer. More specifically, on July 22, the Americans signed an agreement with Pfizer for 100 million doses of vaccine.
On August 5, the Government of Canada secured 20 million doses and, more recently, in early November, it secured an additional 56 million doses.
Can the minister explain to me why the Americans, who signed an agreement on July 22, and the Government of Canada, which signed an agreement two weeks later, will not have access to the Pfizer vaccine at the same time?
