Thank you for your question.
This legislation had every champion in the government when it was passed. It had all-party agreement. So it started out with every government person championing it.
At MSF we are able to work in war zones and in difficult countries because of our mandate of neutrality, so it's not my place to name specific champions. But it can certainly be said that we've seen people working very hard on this. We were in endless meetings from mid-fall 2003 until recently, and during the AIDS conference, so we've seen champions. This drug was approved quite quickly by Health Canada, even though we felt it didn't need that extra step that was TRIPS-plus.
So there certainly have been champions, but the championing has been undermined. If you look at the report we've submitted to you, and in a point to honourable member Byrne, we have set out several NGOs and what the particular problems have been. I think it's quite easy to figure out who was the source of those blocks.
But we believe it can be championed again, and the main part now is fixing the legislation. The European Parliament wrote a good 52-word description of how this WTO solution could work, and it has turned into 3,000 to 5,000 words. So I think we just need more champions, and today is the possibility.
