from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Despite the name, access to rapid tests for COVID-19 in Canada is moving at a glacial pace. The federal government has purchased 38 million tests and rolled out 5.5 million to the provinces, where they are used in a limit capacity or just stockpiled for future use. What is the hold up? Star reporter Jacques Gallant joins This Matters to discuss why the drive for rapid testing isn't moving faster.
