Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin for his question and hard work.
At the beginning of the pandemic, we faced many challenges in procuring essential personal protective equipment. We responded to those challenges by negotiating contracts for the purchase of over 197 million N95 respirators, 60 million face shields and 419 million surgical masks. Deliveries continue to arrive every day.
We promised to protect the health of Canadians and that is exactly what we are doing.
