The national pharmaceutical strategy was announced in September 2004. In principle it makes a lot of sense to work together to try to better the health care system. But in practice, we're seeing a lot of concern that some of these important products won't be recognized on an individual basis. We might be trying to collaborate on making sure we're looking at all these products, but not every Canadian would have access. Our fear is that, as you move through it, there may be an impact on what is available to Canadian patients. That's the fundamental concern.
