Thanks, Mr. Chair.

My question is to the commissioner.

Earlier, Professor Steeves was talking about the doctor collecting information on hormone replacement therapy and then giving it to the pharmaceutical companies. The way I look at it, it helps society when it comes to research into hormones and is the only way that industry can find out where the need is and what the needs of the consumer or society are. As long as the personal names of those women or other patients is not disclosed to the pharmaceutical companies, would you consider that a work product?
