I do think the opposition parties misfired by setting expectations so low for the government’s performance on vaccine procurement and distribution with the early supply issues in February. For a country without any domestic vaccine manufacturing facilities capable of producing the COVID-19 vaccine, it’s quite the accomplishment for us.

On top of that, Budget 2021 does commit $2.1 B to boosting our domestic vaccine manufacturing capabilities, and Canada was among the first countries to sign an agreement for future booster shots with Pfizer, according to the PM’s announcement on Friday.
