Finance committee That was one of the questions previously as well. As indicated previously, there are no conditions associated with the funding. There is the expectation that the provinces and territories will continue to report on progress to date in terms of vaccine rollout, such as the daily

May 17th, 2021Committee meeting
Omar Rajabali
Finance committee Absolutely. The intention is not for the procurement of the vial side, because I think that's being done by the government separately. This component is for the provinces' and territories' rollout of the vaccine campaign. Things that could be included—of course it's dependent on
