Absolutely. While it is acknowledged and has been pointed out through public disclosure that the department and my officials take meetings with health NGOs and industry, those meetings were always with respect to the project, the pace of the project, an attempt to further improve the project. We were working with the minister on a range of options, and it was the minister, on seeing the package and looking at it, who felt that further room for improvement was possible. It was her instructions to us to go back and look at further, more comprehensive activities to better address the needs of youth—Web 2.0, as my colleague has said—that led to us putting a pause on this to do further research and analysis to further improve the project.
