Government Operations committee  That's correct. Okay. Mr. Vandergrift, thank you.

Government Operations committee  Canada is one of the leading contributors to COVAX in terms of financial contributions, so we're right up there. We could probably come back with an exact ranking if it's helpful, Mr. Chair, if there's one available, but I know we are one of the leading countries.

Government Operations committee  We will do that, Mr. Chair. Can I take 10 seconds? There was an earlier question around the update of our website. There are two aspects to that. One is on vaccines, which was updated April 9, the other was on PPE, which has not been updated for some time. That update is quarter

Government Operations committee  If you have a no-fault compensation regime in place, generally speaking, the liability would sit with the government, and that's fairly standard practice across the G7. Canada was a bit of an outlier on that front.

Government Operations committee  I mean in terms of not having one of those regimes. Most other countries do have a no-fault compensation regime around vaccines. Canada did not have one in place but recently announced one, I think in 2021 or late 2020.

Government Operations committee  The COVAX facility has two kinds of features. One is the ability to access vaccines at a subsidized rate or an efficient rate for poorer countries, but there's also a mechanism there for countries to contribute to and gain access to a portfolio of vaccines. The program was design

Government Operations committee  Going from memory, I think Canada was in the top three with both, but I'd have to go back and check. We were at the table very quickly with both Moderna and Pfizer. I think the countries where the vaccine is actually manufactured were obviously at the table as well around a simil

Government Operations committee  We touched on this earlier, and I apologize that my mental math was very bad. Roughly, of the $9.5 billion or so on PPE, about $4.3 billion, or 40%, is domestic. I believe it was Mr. Green who asked that question. I think I cautioned him about the inaccuracy of my $600-million es

Government Operations committee  It went forward through a couple of different avenues. One, some contracts were awarded directly to indigenous businesses. Thermometers come to mind as one example. Then we also did some competitions that were open only to indigenous businesses, two in particular around masks. We

Government Operations committee  I think there are two obvious points to make here. Number one is through information on PSPC's website, which is open to any organization, so that's there, but for specifically targeting under-represented groups, we have an Office of Small and Medium Enterprises that places part

Government Operations committee  The scope on this one—and my colleague Arianne can help me out a little bit as well—is around tracking information related largely to vaccine deployment and information gathering on safety and so on.

Government Operations committee  On this one, I think we have to always remember that actual delivery of health services and programs is the responsibility of the provinces, so there is a question—

Government Operations committee  Again, I think that's a better question, Mr. Chair, to pose to the Public Health Agency, because this was about putting in place a national information system around vaccines, but in terms of the—

Government Operations committee  There are two key points here. The minister already touched on this earlier. Moderna and Pfizer are certainly the workhorses or make up the biggest volume in terms of meeting those targets. Clearly, to the extent that AstraZeneca is rolled out, that only helps matters, but I wo

Government Operations committee  I think the percentages will depend on what the guidance is from the various provincial health authorities in terms of how they use AstraZeneca. I can't pretend to have knowledge across the country here, but I think most are now focusing in on the age group above 55 and under 65,
