Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you for joining us. It's a pleasure to see you before the members of a parliamentary committee for the second time in less than 24 hours. That is very generous of you. We really appreciate it.
I would like to talk to you about something that has been the focus of attention for this committee's members, as you know, as it accounts for a large portion of the study we are undertaking. I am talking about the pandemic's impact on a number of vulnerable populations around the world and the World Health Organization's role in preventing this pandemic and other potential pandemics the WHO has already warned us about.
Do you feel that the WHO has played its role in properly warning the international community about the danger we were facing? Do you think some things should be adjusted, especially in light of information that the WHO is subject to pressures some may refer to as undue from the People's Republic of China, among others?
