Thank you.
On July 27, 2021, the Government of Canada announced that Canada had reached a major milestone, receiving more than 66 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines. This meant that Canada had received enough doses to fully vaccinate every eligible person in Canada.
I think this bears repeating:
Canada continues to work closely with suppliers to ensure that we have enough doses to meet not only our current needs, but future ones as well.
These contracts, in fact, are still in force, so the government can make further purchases as required, I believe, through 2024-25. This is another consideration in our discussion about reviewing the contracts and looking at the prices and the terms.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
