More than $20-million in vaccines, drugs lost from national emergency stockpile due to freezer issue

November 13, 2025

Health Canada says more than $20-million worth of pharmaceutical products were lost from the national stockpile this year because of a temperature-control issue, spurring a call from the federal Conservative health critic for a House of Commons investigation.

The department confirmed the incident on Thursday after figures were identified in the public accounts, an annual financial report on government revenues and spending, and reported by The Canadian Press.
