Mr. Speaker, I will remind the minister that the original contract she signed with Pfizer and AstraZeneca only had vaccines arriving in late February and March respectively. Political pressure from the opposition made a difference. Shortages in January and February cost approximately 2.8 million Ontarians their chance to get a COVID vaccine during these months. That is the equivalent of the entire core population of the city of Toronto. This means that Toronto is still like a tinderbox of unvaccinated people, and it exacerbated the third wave.
Why did Canada not have more vaccines in January and February when we needed them to prevent the third wave?
