Mr. Speaker, we invested to protect the health and safety of Canadians. Canadians watching today should just watch this guy again. Everyone in the country understood at the time that we needed to invest in all types of vaccines. Today, we are in solution mode. We want to protect the jobs, manufacturing facility and IP of Medicago. Canadians learned something from COVID. We have their backs. We will continue to invest in the Canadian economy.

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the Prime Minister's incompetence, Canadians are out of money. Now we learn of more Liberal ineptitude. Medicago closed its doors after receiving more than $173 million of Canadian taxpayer money to develop vaccines. The Liberals prepurchased $600 million of these vaccines that have yet to be produced or delivered. This week government officials said that Canadians are on the hook to pay for these vaccines. Why is the Prime Minister paying millions of dollars of taxpayer money to a foreign company for vaccines we did not receive?
