I'm pleased to hear you speak about the quality of the research and the product. That's what we found so disappointing, to put it mildly. We have all kinds of talent and quality products here that could be marketed. Millions of lives could have been saved by inspired Canadian engineering and efforts.
Unfortunately, we can't move forward because of an administrative formality.
You said earlier that the WHO's position was known, and that it was defensible. I don't have any personal position on that, but given the urgency of the situation and the importance of the research and repercussions worldwide, do you, as an experienced researcher and academic, believe that the WHO could have or should have made its rules more flexible?
