Mr. Speaker, no matter where we are—Quebec, out west, Ontario, the Maritimes or the territories—the number remains the same: zero. Canada received zero doses of the Pfizer vaccine this week. How many essential workers will be vaccinated? Zero. How many seniors will be vaccinated? Zero. How many residents of seniors homes will be vaccinated this week? Zero.
Why is that? It is because the Prime Minister prefers grandstanding to safeguarding Canadians' health. It is because the Prime Minister refuses to be straight with Canadians and disclose the deals with the drug companies. It is because the Liberal government is governing one day at a time, with no plan and no skills. It is because the kind of empty rhetoric we have been hearing for weeks about how we have more vaccines per capita than any other country in the world is useless when we are the last to get them.
Zero vaccines this week is zero. How many people will contract COVID-19 this week? How many people will die of COVID-19 because the government failed to provide vaccines to the provinces? Seniors, who are the most vulnerable, deserve better.
The Conservatives are ready to work together to protect health care in Canada.
