WHY THE SECRECY OF VACCINE TASK FORCE?

 OTTAWA – Members of the government’s vaccine task force said secrecy surrounding their deliberations was necessary as they defended their efforts to opposition MPs Thursday.

The task force, formed early last summer, was responsible for making recommendations on which vaccines to purchase and which Canadian companies to back with funding for research and development of COVID vaccines.

Earlier this week, some researchers and industry experts criticized the secretive nature of deliberations. The task force meets privately and has not released agendas or meeting minutes and has said little about what options it rejected.
