Through you, Mr. Chair, I sat in on the trade committee last Friday when they had the ambassador present. They had many delegates, including a particular witness from Médecins Sans Frontières. They were very clear that we're not leading in this regard. While there has been, retroactively I'll say, a restoration into COVAX in terms of our take from that particular program, there's still a significant need for vaccines. I'm wondering, even for our own possible production of PPE and vaccines, if the minister has made future plans for Canada to become a producer under a TRIPS scenario of PPE and vaccines.
