Madam Speaker, I always find it a pleasure to work with my friend on international human rights files. We agree sometimes, though we do not always agree.
I want to pursue the point about what 2021 is going to look like. Obviously, in the official opposition we have many concerns about the delays in the rollout of vaccinations. Even if the government achieves its targets, there is going to be a need for greater testing, at-home testing, and the approval of new testing technologies as well as tracing. During the first wave of this, many people saw the lockdown as an opportunity for the government to get some of the testing and tracing mechanisms that we needed up and running, but we are into a second wave and still do not have available the kind of rapid testing and at-home testing that we need. We are still going to need these things for much of 2021, especially given the vaccination rollouts.
I wonder if the member could just explain what happened with testing. Why do we not have those systems in place right now?
