Mr. Speaker, let me just say that these measures are temporary and we will always consult our public health experts on how to proceed forward. Let me just say to my hon. Conservative colleagues that they cannot, on the one hand, agree that vaccines save lives and, on the other hand, call them vindictive measures. That does not add up. They have to tell Canadians that they believe vaccines save lives. Do they agree with that or not?

Mr. Speaker, we on this side of the House know that vaccines save lives. That is why we made an announcement with Moderna last week regarding plans to build a plant in Montreal capable of producing up to 100 million vaccines. This is very promising for our biomanufacturing. Could the Minister of Innovation comment on the importance of this partnership to the health sector and the Canadian economy?

Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his excellent question. The Prime Minister and I were in Montreal last week to mark a historic step forward in the life sciences sector, as we announced that Moderna would build its plant in Quebec. For the past two years, we have been rebuilding the Canadian biomanufacturing sector with strategic investments. Thanks to our vision, Canada will be better prepared to deal with any future health emergency. We are going to invent the future of vaccines right here in Canada.
