On Wednesday, about 30 civil society organizations in Canada wrote the Prime Minister in support of the TRIPS waiver. I'm wondering whether that letter has been brought to your attention, appreciating that it may take a little time for those things to travel within government, and whether your plan as you proceed on this issue would be to consult with those organizations, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, to get a sense of where Canadian groups are on this and to try to represent the will of Canadians as much as possible in this matter.
