A demand this week from the opposition for Public Health Canada to disclose details behind the firing of two scientists from Winnipeg’s infectious-disease lab — and its connections to China’s Wuhan lab — is long overdue. But there are other questionable actions taken by the Liberals during the pandemic that Canadians deserve answers to, according to important coverage of Parliament’s committees done by Blacklock’s Reporter, a newsletter which covers The Hill.
By May 25, 2021, the Commons health committee was told that the Privy Council Office still retained hundreds of thousands of records on pandemic management, and released only 8,000 or so.
Some of the eyebrow raising disclosures in the 8,000 released detail lobbying efforts to land large contracts. According to Blacklock’s the documents include a $237-million contract (to build a vaccine factory in Montreal) won by a former Liberal MP’s firm; a $282.5-million contract won by a Montreal contractor for devices that failed testing; directions to agencies to conceal supply shortages as well as information that cabinet knowingly shipped date-expired medical supplies to provinces.
