I can't speak directly to the budget, but Health Canada has spent in excess of several hundred thousand dollars a year supporting the work of the sodium working group, and that was through our early stages. I appreciate the comments of Dr. Campbell. I think the working group spent, at the last meeting, a significant amount of their time looking at what a good education campaign to develop a strategy and awareness campaign about sodium and blood pressure in Canadians would be. And that would take significantly more resources than has been dedicated to this.
