In the interest of time, I'm ready to take it if Mr. MacKinnon wants to share his time with me.

Thank you, Dr. Smith.

Over the last month or so we've heard about the development of a vaccine, and then its going through the tests, as well as mass manufacturing, distribution and the administration of it. The timeline that's being discussed is anywhere from a year to 18 months.

I'd like you to shed some light on the overall timeline. Where are we in that process in your view, and how long do you think the clinical trial—phase one, phase two and phase three—is going to take?
