The Prime Minister held an online first ministers meeting on Thursday and one of the big topics for all of the provincial and territorial leaders was about the availability of vaccines against COVID-19.
Pfizer recently announced cutting deliveries to Europe and North America while the company increases production capacity at its Belgian plan, meaning a shortage compared to the original plans for deliveries
Justin Trudeau admits the next few weeks will be challenging.
He was assured by Pfizer that hundreds of thousands of Pfizer doses will be delivered the week of February 15th and the weeks to follow with all of the promised 4-million doses before March 31st.
Trudeau adds that more doses of the Moderna vaccine are on the way.

The Prime Minister also spoke about U.S. President Joe Biden scrapping the Keystone XL pipeline expansion outside of his Rideau Hall home this morning (Fri).
Trudeau commented that he is disappointed with Biden’s choice.
He addressed in particular, workers in Saskatchewan and Alberta who have been hit hard saying the Canadian government has their backs.

The Prime Minister was asked about how thoroughly Governor General Julie Payette was vetted before being appointed to the vice-regal post.
She resigned on Thursday afternoon.
Current and former Rideau Hall employees have spoken out against Payette, accusing her of publicly humiliating them and being hard to work with.
Trudeau says, “For all high level appointments there is a rigorous vetting process, that was followed, in this case. Obviously, we will continue to look at that vetting process to ensure it is the best possible process as we move forward.” (CJGX)
