Following up on Dr. Carrie's comments, I think we heard two versions here. We heard there were very strong concerns by the head person responsible for ethics for every one of the organizations the CIHR collectively represents. So I think we did hear clearly that there were concerns by large numbers of people respected in the medical and the research communities that having someone who has a primary responsibility to shareholders of a particular company is a concern and that there are other ways of bringing that expertise to bear on the decisions the CIHR is required to take.
