Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll be a little more direct then. An eligible country identifies malaria as a massive health concern and an epidemic is established, a state of emergency declared. Who do they go to, to actually get this whole process in motion? The question here, in the hearts and minds of every legislative member on this Hill, is this. How do we make this system work? The question is, is it broken, or is there something else that's not being done? My question would be quite simply this. Does CIDA interact with an eligible country to make a bulk order of medicines produced by a generic producer for availability in Africa, South America, or elsewhere? Do we do that, yes or no?
