I believe Canada is definitely playing a leadership role in North America because we have taken action early on. As I mentioned, Canada was the first jurisdiction to mandate the labelling of trans fat in the nutritional facts table. Also, reduction efforts as a result of the task force on trans fat have been witnessed. If we look at the comparison between the U.S. food supply right now and the Canadian food supply, there are differences. Definitely a leadership role has been taken by Canada in North America in reducing the intake of trans fat.
