Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for taking the time to come and give us their presentations, which are very enlightening and relevant.
We're dealing with a global pandemic. The presentations given by Ms. Demarais and Ms. Ravon speak for themselves.
Professor Fisman and Professor Weiss, you are scientists. You spoke about the need to establish a more centrally coordinated approach. However, shouldn't this have been done on a global basis in the first place?
The vaccine protectionism that we're facing has led to a vaccine race. The findings of Doctors Without Borders, Ms. Ravon and Ms. Demarais show that this global pandemic is forcing us to review our methods. Variants will continue to pose a threat and may take us back to square one. This is a long-standing issue in third world countries, two-thirds of which are excluded.
Professor Weiss and Professor Fisman, I want to hear your thoughts on this.
