Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
It seems this issue of why there hasn't been any popular response to applications for something we feel is going to be addressing an international crisis.... Our perception is this is going to help. All these countries need this desperately, so you would think there would be one, two, or three.... Actually, you'd think there'd be 35 or 50 who would take advantage of this if there were some kind of practical or easy way to access this. We know there's some generosity on behalf of the companies. Still, the bottom line is that it doesn't seem to be happening.
With that in mind, I just want to ask a question about Canada always seeming to be first for many of these WTO decisions. I'll use agriculture as an example, in terms of our complying and doing the Doha thing. In your list of the nations that have jumped onboard here, it still seems this issue is not there. You mentioned Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands, but aren't they part of the European Union? And then you mentioned the European Union. So that would only give us South Korea, India, China, the European Union, and Canada in this. Perhaps you could just start with that.
I appreciate that Canada likes to be a leader and needs to be a leader, and that it demonstrates this because we have compassion and care and a skilled public service that wants to carry this out, but it doesn't seem that anyone is coming, although we've made everything ready and it's built.
