I'm at a loss to understand how Canada is blocking this discussion. We have been engaged in this discussion since October. There is only a proposal, there is no text on the table. Canada has in good faith asked questions as to how this waiver would operate. I have met with the proponents a number of times to discuss this waiver. This is a consensus organization. Canada does not have the ability to block.
Canada will be looking for the best outcome in order to increase vaccine production. The waiver may be one of those tools, but Canada is not blocking that discussion.
