I can't remember if this committee actually recommended it, but we did suggest leaving the same letters in the acronym, with “Patented” Medicine Prices Review Board becoming “Prescription” Medicine Prices Review Board. I think that's what kick-started this idea about generics.

I have one more question. There is a 35.6% decrease in the planned spending of the policy, planning, and information branch. I would like to know what that's about. What were the criteria, and what will be the impact, etc., on that particular branch?
