“Conservatives will secure our country by making Canada self-reliant and ending our dependence on foreign countries like China,” the statement says.
Conservative Shadow Ministers Pierre Poilievre and Pierre Paul-Hus released a statement on Wednesday night criticizing the Trudeau government for their vaccine rollout, which has lagged significantly behind other developed countries.
The statement focuses on Wednesday's announcement from the prime minister and Premier Doug Ford, who said yesterday they had partnered with the global pharmaceutical company Sanofi Pasteur LTD. to build a vaccine manufacturing plant in Ontario.
"Today’s announcement will not help Canadians get a COVID-19 vaccine faster. This Liberal government left Canada helpless and unprepared for the pandemic and then wasted 100 days waiting for Communist China to provide vaccines that never came," they wrote.
“That is why Canada is at the back of the pack on vaccines."
The Canadian federal government will be investing $415 million, while Ontario’s government will contribute an additional $55 million.
"Canada must become self-reliant, stand on our own feet by unleashing the massive productive forces of a free enterprise economy in which workers and businesses make more, do more, and earn more."
"Conservatives will secure our country by making Canada self-reliant and ending our dependence on foreign countries like China," the statement says.
