Like all the industries, I think extractives feel the most pain of these diseases because it affects their workers in a kind of special way. There's HIV and TB co-infection in mines, particularly in the southern Africa region where there are lots of mines. That's why it is more appealing to them. That's why a number of them are already supporting us. We are reaching out specifically to that whole sector, including Canadian companies, in this year of replenishment, to see whether this can be a kind of global initiative with the extractive industry and the Global Fund.
