Mr. Speaker, we have a serious problem. Canada has no domestic vaccine production. The Americans cannot sell us any. The Europeans are threatening to halt all shipments. We just heard that the Prime Minister spoke with the European Commission an hour ago. That does not reassure me at all. He could have spoken with American officials and told them that since they are cancelling Keystone XL and enforcing the Buy American Act, they could send us some vaccines as a form of compensation, to make up for the lack of vaccines from Europe. That is called negotiating.
When will the Prime Minister finally wake up and ensure that Quebeckers and Canadians can get vaccinated?
