Mr. Speaker, this week is HIV-AIDS Awareness week. December 1 represents World AIDS Day.
The recently released UN AIDS report confirms that the AIDS pandemic is worsening. There are currently 42 million people living with HIV worldwide. This will increase to 50 million by 2005. More than 95% of new infections are in developing countries.
Would the Minister for International Cooperation please tell Canadians what Canada is doing about this?
