Health Minister Mark Holland says other vaccine options had become available by the time Medicago was ready to produce its doses.
The official says Ottawa didn’t know which vaccines would be authorized and no vaccine existed when contracts with suppliers were put in place.
Tory MP Stephen Ellis says Ottawa paid over $300 million to Quebec-based Medicago, a defunct company whose COVID-19 vaccine never made it to the market.
The Tories are calling on the Commons health committee to probe PHAC over unfulfilled contracts for COVID-19 shots.
