I still stand by my quote, happily, and I would say that the government indeed can take a stand. Oftentimes, the argument is made—and I know this happens usually behind closed doors—where the industry will say they're going to give you a better deal, but they don't want others to find out about it, because if they give you a better deal, they're going to have to negotiate the same deal with country X, Y or Z for less, so it's in your best interests to keep this quiet and to keep this confidential.
I don't buy that. I don't think that's a valid reason. Just so you know, but in case you're not aware, I'm sure many of you know that the World Health Assembly in 2019 came out with a resolution demanding pricing “transparency”. It was the beginning of global efforts to demand much more transparency in terms of research and development and in terms of contract negotiations with the industry.
I do believe, still, that it's a political decision. I think that if the government were standing a little more strongly with its suppliers, it could make some of this information public.
