“At the Gleneagles Summit in July 2005, G8 leaders promised to develop and implement a package for HIV prevention, treatment and care, with the aim of as close as possible to universal access to treatment for all those who need it by 2010. Canada was among the countries that reaffirmed a commitment to this target during the G8 Summit in Russia. However, we are deeply concerned that 18 months after this ambitious target was agreed, the funding needed to ensure its delivery has yet to be committed.”
