Mr. Speaker, we very much welcome the contribution by the United States. In fact, Canada was the leading donor. We were the first to donate to COVAX and welcome countries all around the world making these contributions.
I would correct my hon. colleague, in that COVAX was intentionally set up to have wealthy countries contribute to COVAX both to procure vaccines and grow purchasing power so it could subsidize vaccines for low-income countries while working for equitable access.
Canada was the second-largest contributor to the COVAX AMC. We are very proud that we helped set up this historic global mechanism.
