Canada's position at the WTO is supposedly one of neutrality. However, according to Amnesty International, it is more of a blocking position. In actual fact, it does not help the temporary lifting of patents, which is really needed. There needs to be transparency in terms of revenue and other technologies, whether it's vaccines or any other product, to reach as many people as possible.
Also, as my colleague Ms. Lelièvre mentioned, it is not true that Canada is doing nothing. It is participating in the COVAX mechanism. It could participate more, but above all, it should keep its promises and play a leadership role on the international scene when it comes to deploying logistics. While we talk about lifting patents and almost exclusively about vaccines, the logistics are not being put in place in the countries that need them so that any treatment, including but not limited to vaccines, can be deployed and made accessible to the population. Education is needed to convince the population to use the vaccines or treatments that will be offered to them.
Ms. Lelièvre, would you like to add any comments?
