In fact, we had experts, civil servants and others engaged on the issue. Today, we have a wide spectrum of ways to provide vaccinations, which is providing a great deal of hope to Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6404957\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was here during the summertime, and I am trying to get an understanding of something. Out of the hundreds of questions I sat through during the summer inside the chamber while listening to opposition parties, I am trying to recall when they started to talk about the vaccination issue on the floor of the House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6404958\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the leader of the Bloc indicate when his party was first aware of this and when they started to talk about the issue of vaccinations on the floor of the House?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6404956\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, d\u00e8s le premier jour, le gouvernement a insist\u00e9 sur la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d'un vaccin. Il a d'ailleurs mobilis\u00e9 toute une pl\u00e9thore de sp\u00e9cialistes, de fonctionnaires et d'intervenants pour s'en occuper. Aujourd'hui, le Canada peut compter sur un vaste \u00e9ventail d'options pour se procurer des doses, alors il devrait s'agir d'une grande source d'espoir pour les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6404957\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'\u00e9tais ici cet \u00e9t\u00e9 et il y a une chose qui m'\u00e9chappe encore. J'ai d\u00fb entendre des centaines de questions de la part des d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition, mais j'ai beau me creuser la t\u00eate, je suis incapable de me rappeler quand ils ont soulev\u00e9 pour la premi\u00e8re fois la question des vaccins.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6404958\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le chef du Bloc pourrait-il nous dire quand son parti s'est int\u00e9ress\u00e9 \u00e0 la question de la vaccination et quand il a abord\u00e9 le sujet pour la premi\u00e8re fois ici m\u00eame?</p>"
