Thank you for the question. It's an excellent question.
This is something we do have an application in for, under the New Frontiers program, the transformation stream, which is about $24 million. It's a big enough program, but it's also extremely competitive, and the program funds only about six grants.
My take on One Health comes from an infectious disease perspective, because that's my bias, but we are also cognizant of the idea that infectious diseases also depend on climate change, animal health, human health and the health of the environment in general. This program, if I were to propose it, would certainly be an international program. We can't do world-class science in silos, but Canada does have an opportunity to lead it. We have all the ingredients in Canada to lead an international moonshot program, starting from surveillance, with what I would perhaps call intelligence gathering and risk assessment—we have colleagues who are exceptional at modelling and identifying which pathogens are likely to be the next epidemic or pandemic—therapeutics and vaccine development.
With Canada's infrastructure investment through BRIFs and CBRFs, we have capacity in Canada to develop vaccines and therapeutics and to test them. Finally, there are colleagues who are very good at developing policies who could come up with outbreak mitigation policies.
An international One Health program led by Canada but would have global impact is what I would see as a moonshot program.
