The Opposition Conservatives are still hammering at the Liberal government over Canada's uneven vaccine rollout.
In question period today, Conservative leader Erin O'Toole was incredulous about how many people would have to be vaccinated per day to get every Canadian vaccinated by the end of September as the Liberals say.
He said it would be 300,000 per day.
But Justin Trudeau says deliveries are ramping up and the government is committed to its September deadline.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is boasting some new numbers for COVID vaccine delivery.
But he's facing continued criticism from the Tories.
Trudeau told the House of Commons that drug maker Moderna is expected to come through with more doses than initially promised before the end of next month.
He says there will be over 460-thousand doses as of March 8th, and double that for March 22nd.
The Opposition Conservatives have been hammering the Liberal government after vaccine deliveries slowed to a trickle in late January and early February.
