Madam Speaker, since I and my colleague deal with long-term care facilities across Canada in our roles as members of the health committee, she knows full well that our long-term care facilities are where 85% of the deaths that have occurred in Canada are happening, and we need to make sure that we can get these residents vaccinated as quickly as we can.
This delay in vaccines, the lack of planning from the government to be able to supply the provinces with the vaccine, is really hurting our ability to stabilize things in our long-term care facilities here in Canada and certainly here in Brandon—Souris in the southwest. We just had another death in one of our facilities here today, even though Manitoba is doing better than it has in the past.
We need to make sure that we are utilizing those vaccines in our long-term care facilities as quickly as we can get them there, but we cannot put in arms what we do not have.
