Madam Speaker, the hon. member correctly referred to Canada as a G7 country. Canadians were horrified to wake up at the beginning of the pandemic and realize that, as a G7 country, we do not have the capacity to make our own vaccines in this country. Of course, that is a product of decades of poor pharmaceutical policy, including the decision of the Mulroney Conservatives in 1988 to sell off Canada's public vaccine manufacturer, and of course subsequent decisions that have left Canada vulnerable.
Does my hon. colleague agree, while we are on the subject of errors, that it was a colossal error on the Conservatives' part to sell off Canada's only public vaccine manufacturer, leading to the vulnerability we face today?
