Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would also like to thank the witnesses appearing before our committee today.
Mr. Ambassador, thank you for all of your work at the WTO on behalf of Canada and particularly our Canadian businesses and exporters. I have a couple of questions for you arising out of our TRIPS study, but I see that many colleagues are talking about vaccines for Canadians today.
I want also to make sure it is on the record—even though there's much discussion about Europe—that we'll be receiving Pfizer vaccines from the United States beginning next week.
For the European export restrictions that were being discussed just a moment ago, Mr. Ambassador and Mr. Verheul, my understanding is that the only countries left on the exemption list for these EU measures are low-income countries. Is that your understanding as well?
Go ahead, Mr. Verheul, perhaps.
