Can I just comment on the way the metrics are coming out? Often what you hear about is the cost of a generic drug and the cost of the brand-name drug and so on, but I think what's really critical is how much it costs to treat a patient with hypertension or with diabetes. We've done some work looking at the cost to treat cholesterol in Nova Scotia compared with Australia. So as you explore this area further, think about how much it costs to treat the disease condition, as well as about the type of drug.
