In Canada, Bill C-9, otherwise known as the Jean Chrétien Pledge to Africa Act, was the first implementation of the TRIPS flexibilities declared in the August 30, 2003, General Council decision. Enacted in May 2004, it allows Canada to enact compulsory licenses to export essential medicines to countries without the capacity to manufacture their own. Other countries that have since enacted similar legislation are Norway and India.
