Mr. Speaker, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic on March 11. Twelve days after, we announced $192 million to support biomanufacturing in this country. On April 23, we announced a further $600 million. If we add it up, in about one month from the time COVID was declared a pandemic we made $800 million available for biomanufacturing in Canada. We have made historic investments to restore biomanufacturing and we will continue to do so.
In the House of Commons on February 22nd, 2021. See this statement in context.
