Health  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

Health committee  Thank you. I'll start by issuing hearty congratulations to the Government of Israel on their vaccine rollout program. I'll then direct my questions to Ms. Tremblay. Have any of the vaccine procurement contracts been sent to the law clerk, per the October 26 motion in the House

Health committee  I asked about a national proof of vaccination program. Are any plans for a national proof of vaccination system under way?

Health committee  In your piece in The Globe and Mail, you said that Europe is already welcoming fully vaccinated Americans. Are there any other international examples that you would point us to in terms of best practices right now?

Health committee  This is the last question. Today, Perrin Beatty made a comment that it is now easier to fly to France for a fully vaccinated Canadian than it would be to go to Buffalo. Would you agree with that assertion?

Health committee  Something else has struck me. Absolutely, we need medical advice and that needs to be driving this. I can't even imagine the frustration you must feel. This week we've seen, for example, a lack of clarity of communication on vaccines. How can we fix that? To me, that's

Health committee  Thank you, Chair. I'll start with a question for Dr. Lucas regarding the announcement that the Johnson & Johnson vaccines the government had been holding were going to be destroyed. Have they been destroyed?

Health committee  Mr. Matthews, while I have you here, on the contracts for vaccines that were delivered to the health committee on Friday, did your department provide those to the law clerk in redacted or unredacted format?

Health committee   technical information. In the last week, countries around the world have started to report their concern with this, particularly regarding the ability of domestic vaccination programs to outpace the spread of the variant. Without getting overly partisan here, I think everybody would

Health committee   on that vaccine contract?

Health committee  The other thing the committee is looking at right now, in the context of both PMPRB reform and access to vaccines, is the concept of the government's role and what the government has done in terms of supporting research and pharmaceutical research, particularly in the private

Health committee  No, no; it's good. I think we have to talk about intellectual property rights in a broader context here. In that context, I know that therapeutics for infectious diseases and vaccine development are normally on the low end of the priority list for pharma development. What
