Madam Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity tonight to speak on this important matter. I am glad we are having this debate. It is incredibly important for Canadians to see parliamentarians discussing the health and safety and importance of the vaccines that are going to help us get through this pandemic.
There is no question that all Canadians and all members of the House want to see this health pandemic come to an end. There is no question that the economic recovery and rebuild is also going to be incredibly important, but until Canadians are healthy and safe, that needs to be Canada's number one priority. Obviously vaccines have been a critical part of this and I am really proud—
