Madam Speaker, it is important that we put things into perspective. I was reading this morning about when Europe anticipates it will have vaccinated 70% of its population. It intends to do that by the summer at some point, which could be up to September 21. I was also looking at when Australia plans to vaccinate its entire population, and the plans right now put the date in October or November if things all go well.
In Canada's case, we plan on vaccinating every Canadian who chooses to have the vaccine by the end September. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Health, as well as the Minister of Public Services and Procurement, have been clear that vaccinations will be free for every Canadian who chooses to get one.
