Pfizer is guaranteeing delivery of at least one-million COVID-19 vaccine doses per week starting on the 22nd of this month and continuing through to May 10th.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says one-million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines every seven days will make a big difference.

He says the government has updated the provinces and territories so they can make plans for mass vaccination sites.

Trudeau says the government is focused on making sure no one misses out on the vaccine, and that includes Indigenous communities.

This morning Trudeau says Pfizer has provided some new delivery schedules.

He says there are many days to go, but each one that passes brings us closer to better days ahead.

Conservative MPs deflect questions about Poilievre's comments on Trudeau, RCMP

Some Conservative MPs are deflecting questions about their leader’s comments on the RCMP, after the Liberals, Greens and NDP called for an apology. In a recent interview with a YouTube channel, Pierre Poilievre called the RCMP's leadership "despicable" and accused it of covering up for former prime minister Justin Trudeau. Poilievre claimed that Trudeau could have been charged criminally for accepting a vacation from the Aga Khan and said the former prime minister would be in jail if not for the RCMP.
