Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my hon. colleague on his victory and welcome him to the House.
About a year ago, health experts around the world warned us that if we did not vaccinate the entire world, we risked the development of a mutated coronavirus that would then prove to be problematic and perhaps even vaccine resistant. Part of this was manifested in South Africa and India going to the WTO to request an exemption from intellectual property provisions to allow countries to produce the vaccine all over the world. I know the Liberal Party has opposed that measure at the WTO. I have not heard what the Conservative Party policy is on this.
Could my colleague tell us whether he supports the NDP in our call for the WTO waiver of the TRIPS regulations?
