Health Mr. Speaker, from the beginning of this pandemic, we have had Canadians' backs with unprecedented supports for workers, for families, for small businesses, for seniors and for young people, and we have continued to do that. In discussions with the provinces and territories at t

Health Mr. Speaker, yes, I promised that last December during conversations and meetings with the provincial and territorial premiers. I also acknowledged that our health care system has urgent needs in the short term. That is why we transferred billions of dollars more to the province

Justice Mr. Speaker, we are of course aware of the ruling. We will let the legal process take its course and will continue to monitor this situation closely.

Health Mr. Speaker, the reality is 25% of Canadians have received at least their first shot of the vaccine. In the coming weeks we are going to start getting more than two million vaccines every single week and those numbers are going to keep going up. We know how important this is. On

Health Mr. Speaker, again, we have now passed the threshold of having vaccinated 25% of Canadians. We need to continue to do more, and that is something we are going to continue to do. In terms of opportunities for the global community to come together, particularly the leaders of the

Health Mr. Speaker, once again the Conservatives demonstrate that they will never let the facts get in the way of a good political partisan attack. The reality is that we have been working diligently. Indeed, experts on the National Advisory Council on Immunization made a recommendatio

Health Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives would do well to pay a little more attention to science rather than grounding everything in their partisan attacks. I would like to remind the hon. member that we have worked every step of the way with the provinces and territories throughout this

Health Mr. Speaker, instead of talking down the hard-working Canadians across the country, in the provinces, the territories and the federal government, who have been working unbelievably hard to get people vaccinated, they should respect and reflect on the fact that Canada is now third

Health Mr. Speaker, on this we can agree. Canadians are tired of this COVID pandemic. People are frustrated about the restrictions that continue, but we need to get through this as quickly and as best as possible. That is why we are working day and night to bring in even more vaccine do

Health Mr. Speaker, the tragedies faced by far too many Canadian families over these past many months have been heartbreaking. Every step of the way, governments have been there to support people. We have been working hand in glove with provincial and territorial governments. We have

Health Mr. Speaker, it is amazing to see the lengths to which the Conservative Party will go to make political comments and attacks. I was hoping to attend the heads of government meeting, the G7, in person in June. Obviously that will very much depend on the situation when the time co

Health Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party health critic told Canadians that they might not get vaccinated until 2030. We got people vaccinated in 2020, even before the new year. At the same time, we recognize that there is still work to be done. We have now passed the threshold of hav

Health Mr. Speaker, it is important to stick to the facts. We promised Canadians that we would receive six million doses of vaccines in the first three months of 2020. We exceeded that by 50% and received nine million doses. We are exceeding our projections, but we do acknowledge that

Health Mr. Speaker, today, the Leader of the Opposition asked five questions and invented facts for each one. I understand that parliamentarians have a responsibility to debate in this place, but when he says, for instance, that the United States has just changed their position on Canad
