Jonathan Genest-Jourdain at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

I will share my time with Ms. Hughes.

Mr. Paul, during your presentation, you often mentioned elders' knowledge and the sharing of traditional knowledge.

I would like to know what you think about the use of traditional knowledge and of the patent on traditional knowledge by the pharmaceutical industry, among others. That use is often detrimental to aboriginals because the nations have had very little financial benefit from those patents.
