I'm not familiar with the specific case you're referring to. I guess, in general, we feel that Canada needs to be competitive in terms of the intellectual property tools we provide, to the extent that we encourage innovation to happen here in Canada. We also believe that farmers will and should only buy technology if it improves their bottom line as individual growers. I can't comment specifically on the situation you're referring to, but again, we would support a system of intellectual property tools that make Canada competitive on an international scale in terms of attracting innovation.
