Can you talk about the information on 23andMe and expand on why you felt the need to highlight that in the paper and why that was a risk?

The difference here is that this is on an individual basis where that information is being collected and possibly shared, versus the BGI, which is possibly collecting it on hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Could you just address why for 23andMe and that transfer it's critical to have a handle on it?
