Mr. Speaker, today UN special envoy on the world HIV-AIDS crisis, Stephen Lewis, challenged Canada to offer leadership on the catastrophic pandemic facing sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and eastern Europe. This means Canada meeting its obligations to the global fund, which it has not yet done. It also means ensuring that generic drugs to prevent HIV-AIDS infection and to treat those living with HIV-AIDS are available.
Will the Prime Minister today commit to increase Canada's global fund contribution and to work toward the removal of barriers to generic drugs for HIV-AIDS? Will the government commit to do that?
