Mr. Speaker, the fact of the matter is that over 100 countries are exempt from these measures and we are not.
The government has no written assurances that the EU's export controls will not affect Canada. Whether a week from now or a month from now, we simply do not know if the EU can implement these measures on Canada's vaccine contracts. Verbal assurances are simply not enough.
Why is the minister not pushing to get Canada on this exemption list?
