Good interview! Yes, Canada & European countries, Japan, NZ, etc. will by default be more influential in the WHO. But unlike many of our allies, global health hasn’t been a Cdn. priority. Perhaps that will change as part of the middle power alliances & ‘variable geometry’ highlighted by the PM.

Yes, burden sharing is necessary and Canada doesn’t need to lead on global health. But if global health is defined solely as an operational matter & the responsibility of the Public Health Agency, they are in no position to lend whatever political capital Canada may have on the global stage.
