Government Operations committee  Thank you so much. Thank you for your work.

Government Operations committee  I could start with that one. As we plan for subsequent years of the pandemic—if it does continue for subsequent years—the considerations will be a little different. The viral vector vaccines played a marvellous role in being able to be scaled up quickly and to provide disease co

Government Operations committee  The task force wasn't constituted until June, so it wasn't involved in considering anything before that time.

Government Operations committee  I'm based at the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology at Dalhousie University, and we do research on vaccines early in their development and do a lot of phase 1 trials, mainly for Canadian candidates, but also for other ones. We had a collaboration with the National Research Council a

Government Operations committee  I'm not sure I understand the question entirely, but I can just—

Government Operations committee  It is hard to say it with exactitude.

Government Operations committee  If they had full support, they could potentially move to phase 2 with the 28-day results from their phase 1. That would be early. They could do phase 3, potentially, if their phase 2 went well, next fall to winter.

Government Operations committee  That's the Quebec facility that Medicago would be running. They do have a plant in North Carolina. That's why they can commit to providing doses earlier.
