The Liberal cabinet is not disclosing the total amount of federal funds lost on investments in a Quebec-based COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing factory that was shut down by its parent company in February, according to newly released records.

In an Inquiry of Ministry tabled in the House of Commons on March 27 and first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, cabinet said that financial details between the government and Medicago Inc., the company involved, are private and cannot be released publicly.
