Kevin Bernard, Minister of Health and Welness
"We faced a few couple of challenges in the past term with the issue of stockouts at that time. Of course, the supply chain was disrupted. We have been trying our very best to ensure that those things improve."
"And I think we have done a significant work in making sure that we're not 100 percent. And I'll be first to attest to that, we're not 100 percent there. We want to ensure that we can get to improve optimum level in terms of making sure that there's adequate supplies available across the country."
