Madam Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to enter into this important debate.
I wish I could share the rose-coloured optimism the member opposite certainly has regarding this. Just this past day, I was fact-checking some of the elements of this debate, and there was a whole rash of articles about the CanSino deal, its mismanagement and the troubling revelations that are coming out. Serious questions need to be asked.
There are a lot of very valid questions that need to be asked about this government's management of vaccines from the beginning and the impact of that today with the fact that next week Canada is getting zero vaccines. How can the member speak so optimistically about the government's supposed successes when the number of vaccines that Canada will receive next week is zero?
