Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner demanded in question period to know if Canada had even negotiated for the right to make vaccines domestically.
“Did you even bother to negotiate the right for Canada to manufacture these vaccines at home? Do we have the ability to do this and when are Canadians going to get these vaccines?” she asked Trudeau.
Trudeau did not answer that question directly, but government sources speaking on background said the vaccine contracts don’t include a right to make them domestically, largely because the government would have had no place to make them. The sources indicated they were confident the manufacturers would be open to domestic production, but there are no domestic facilities in Canada.
