We are concerned about the transborder data flow. Actually, that's one of the points we mentioned. I think that is a potential concern and why these databases have to be guarded safely. Research subjects in Canada who are participating in multinational trials could have their information located in the United States and could then be subject to acts such as the U.S. Patriot Act. These are issues that we feel Canadians need to be really proactive on to ensure that we're protecting our citizens' privacy.
