Thank you very much.

I want to ask you about the impact of indemnification clauses in vaccine contracts in the developing world.

I know that our country, our government, has signed indemnification clauses around claims that might be made against vaccine manufacturers. What is the application of those clauses if Canada donates vaccines to countries in the developing world? Do developing countries sign their own indemnification clauses? Do those clauses not apply? Could you shed some light on that issue, please?
