I'm sorry, I was sure Health Canada officials were here.

I have a second question, and it's about advertising. Earlier, we were told that the initial $50 million was for COVID-19. We then asked why this amount had not been included in another line item, and we were told that it had been included in that way because the funds are not only allocated for COVID-19 and that the advertising could be used for other purposes.

Did I understand you correctly? What else would it be used for?
