Speaking in the House of Commons on Thursday, Conservative leader Erin O'Toole set his political phaser on stun when he said that compared to the "Operation Warp Speed" vaccine rollout in the U.S., the Trudeau government's plan could at best be called "impulse power."

The line is a reference to the fictional "Star Trek" universe, from where the original "Operation: Warp Speed" name also draws inspiration. In "Star Trek" warp speed represents faster-than-light travel, while impulse power is much slower.

The federal government earlier in the day laid out details for Canada’s coronavirus vaccine rollout, saying it plans to have logistics and infrastructure in place before Christmas.

The federal government plans to give three million Canadians the first round of coronavirus vaccines when they are approved and arrive in the country, Deputy chief public health officer Dr. Howard Njoo said earlier.
