LIBERALS DENY BLOCKING PROVINCES BUYING VACCINE
Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister said the federal government’s contracts with key coronavirus vaccine suppliers like Pfizer and Moderna forbid those companies from selling in separate deals to provinces.
“They’ve all told us that they are not going to sell to us because that’s part of the deal they made with the federal government. To me, that’s blocking.”
Canada’s intergovernmental affairs minister, Dominic LeBlanc, disputed accusations that the federal government had blocked provinces from purchasing their own COVID-19 vaccines, doubling down that the comments made by the Manitoban premier were incorrect.
“They’ve all told us that they are not going to sell to us because that’s part of the deal they made with the federal government. To me, that’s blocking.”
