 Hello, everyone. Over the last few months, our countries have faced a global pandemic that threatens the safety and safety of our citizens. This crisis has also had impacts on our economies, especially those of increasing inequalities within our societies and between countries. We must take lessons if we want to create a better and more just world for all of us. Job 1 remains defeating COVID-19. And to end this pandemic anywhere, we have to end it everywhere. We need a united, global effort that ensures that everyone has equitable access to a potential vaccine. Canada understands this, and it's why we joined many of you in launching and supporting the ACT initiative, as well as providing significant funding for COVAX. With this assistance, we're making sure that low- and middle-income countries will have access to a vaccine when it's available. This is a part of Canada's contribution to help others, while we also ensure that we're procuring vaccines for our own citizens. Of course, our collaboration can't end at distributing a vaccine. The pandemic has taught us difficult lessons about inequality, both at home and between countries. So far, advanced economies have spent over 20 percent of their GDP to support their citizens during the pandemic. Developing economies, though, could only afford 8 percent in spending, while for the poorest economies that number was just 2 percent. These inequities must be addressed. That's why Canada has been working together with UN Secretary-General Guterres and Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness to find new ways of financing for development. We stand ready to work with our partners and to help countries deal with unsustainable debt, recover and rebuild from this global crisis. We cannot let the most vulnerable be left behind. The pandemic has widened inequities and exacerbated humanitarian situations. Canada is stepping up by increasing our international assistance, and we're making a special effort to respond to humanitarian crises. We remain committed to working through institutions like the UN Peace Building Commission to help prevent conflicts. I spoke about the fact that we must work together to win COVID-19 and the way we can create a more just world. But it is not possible to build a better future without also attacking one of the biggest threats that are on our collective well-being, climate change, which threatens our health, our economic future and our planet. As part of our economic recovery, we must invest to reduce emissions, to start more clean economies and to create good jobs for the average class. Here in Canada, we stand up for this challenge. That's why our measures to fight COVID-19 are taking into account climate change. We have also united our efforts in southern Argentina to proceed with a joint test of fossil fuel subsidies, and last month, we presented a new ambitious law on carbon neutrality in 2050. These are just a few of the measures we take to ensure that we can all live on a healthy planet where our children will be safe. Right now, we all need to recognize the role we play in building a better global community. Canada believes that the United Nations can continue to be a driving force in fostering stronger multilateralism within the international community. Together, we can defeat COVID-19 and tackle climate change. We can address global inequities and build a better world where no one is left behind. Merci.
