Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by thanking the hon. member for Calgary Nose Hill for moving this motion this evening. I would also like to thank her for her fighting spirit.
The problem we have today is that we cannot get vaccines. I also think that the problem is that we cannot produce vaccines. Currently in Canada, we are not producing any.
What are the hon. member's thoughts on how we got into this situation today? What could we do to ensure that Canadian industries end up in a strong domestic economy? How can we ensure that Quebec or the rest of Canada can produce vaccines like we used to and have a pharmaceutical industry that makes us self-sufficient and independent from what is being produced elsewhere in the world?
