I have one final question, and I'll make it a little bit easier.

We know that the GDPR rules are going to be coming into effect in May 2018. We also know that right now the United States and Europe have a privacy shield, which we don't have, and eventually the European Union is going to ask that everybody rise to their level in terms of the regulations that they will have.

Do you think it would be prudent or probably easier and more facile if the United States, the European Union, and Canada could somehow come to one standard, as opposed to the United States and Europe having one standard, and Canadians not having any protection because of the executive order?
