Thank you. I want to get in another quick question.
I think the Public Health Agency of Canada ought to appreciate the essential work that GPHIN does. The Public Health Agency of Canada must know that the international health regulations are being reviewed and that the WHO has initiated a process in writing a new treaty on infectious disease. It certainly must appreciate the importance of these kinds of early warning systems and the fact that many poor countries do not have the resources to do such monitoring.
Certainly many people feel that an essential part of a revision to the international health regulations and a new treaty on control of infectious disease would require developed countries to financially assist developing countries in doing such monitoring. Has PHAC considered this issue and does it have a position with respect to it?
Thank you.
