Thanks very much.
To go back to HIV/AIDS, in 2006, the Government of Canada announced that it would be collaborating with the Gates Foundation to accelerate the development of HIV vaccines. In 2010, in February of this year, it was announced that none of the applications for a pilot scale manufacturing facility were successful and that current research needs didn't require that kind of a facility, so it wasn't needed at the time.
But the announcement didn't say what would happen with the money that had been earmarked for manufacturing the facility. I think it was about $88 million. We've heard from a lot of civil society groups that have called on the government to strengthen our response to HIV by taking these leftover funds that were earmarked and investing them in other HIV/AIDS strategies.
I'm wondering if the government's intention is to use those previously earmarked funds for research on HIV/AIDS and prevention techniques and initiatives.
