Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the situation is dire. I agree with my colleague. We need to look at every innovative solution on the table to address this crisis, and we do need to look at vaccine equity. The Prime Minister is going to some sort of charity rock star concert. Of course he is. He

Health committee  Thank you, Chair. I'll briefly start with Dr. Hotez. I want to thank you for your work in vaccine advocacy and dispelling myths around the vaccine link with autism. I think it's really important, and I want to thank you for doing that. I am going to direct most of my

Health committee  No, no, no. I'm sticking with you. Thank you, Mr. Stewart. Earlier, I think it was last week, the Prime Minister said something to the effect that vaccinations on their own are not enough to keep us safe. Then Dr. Tam said that vaccines aren't a panacea. Are you concerned
