Jagmeet Singh tweeted about Trudeau attending the star-studded event for vaccine equality and claimed that the prime minister is only talking about getting doses to people but is "refusing to deliver help" by lifting vaccine patents.

Trudeau announced Canada's pledge of $375 million for the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator on May 7 and according to Global Citizen, it's the largest VAX LIVE pledge so far.

This event is airing on TV on ABC and CBS and YouTube at 8 p.m. ET and the online stream will have an extended version of the concert with extra performances and appearances.
