Originally, when we were vaccinating inside Canada, our plan was always to go through COVAX. There were certain times when there was an opportunity to actually deliver doses bilaterally, but the best way to do it is to go through COVAX.
The actual issue is not about supply anymore. In fact when I was at the UN, meeting many of the representatives of the countries, they said it's about understanding the ability to absorb. I believe there has been a vaccine delivery, but I have to get someone who can answer that question.
When it comes to Haiti, as we assessed the situation, they need predictability as well. This is where COVAX becomes very important. I can understand that we want to talk about getting vaccines. From our perspective, we just get it there, but we have missed probably the most important thing, which is the nation's ability to provide it and whether we have a consistent plan to be able to deliver it.
Haiti has said they need far more predictability. Some nations are saying to hold off because they need to set things up. That's where it becomes very important. I actually have spoken directly with the permanent representative from Haiti about this. They were happy with how we were working together on that.
Do we have more time, Mr. Chair?
