Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.
Regions like mine, the Lower St. Lawrence and the Gaspé, administered the doses of the vaccine they had. They primarily vaccinated people in long-term care homes, the CHSLDs. However, as a result of procurement problems, there are no more doses of the vaccine left for people in private seniors' residences.
What is rather unbelievable is that people are not necessarily following the rules and are choosing to travel abroad. I am thinking of those who winter in the United States and who are able to get the vaccine there. The United States has so many doses available that it is able to vaccinate people who are not from there. That country is vaccinating everyone aged 65 years and up who wants to be vaccinated.
Does my colleague agree that, despite everything that can be said about the United States, that country is being more transparent than Canada about how it is managing vaccine procurement?
