Thank you, Madam Speaker.
The first mistake was the agreement with CanSino, which the Chinese Communist regime did not honour. Canada fell behind after that. We have talked about this since the start, but every time we reminded the government that we are several weeks behind our international partners, they laughed at us instead of saying it was true and trying to work together. The Liberal government refused to collaborate every step of the way.
My time is almost up, and the sound is bad, so I will wrap up my speech. As the Conservative Party critic, formerly for public safety and now for procurement, I want to work with the government to help Canadians get through this as quickly as possible.
We all want to defeat this damned COVID-19 pandemic, which is taking a toll on the Canadian economy and Canadians' health. The only way to do that is with transparency and consistency. That is all we are asking. I am pretty sure that all my opposition colleagues agree with me.
