Well, I think you might have missed a line of questioning on that very issue. I don't think there's anything we can do under our patent regime that will serve as a policy instrument to attract R and D to Canada. The literature would suggest that other policy instruments are much stronger determinants of where pharmaceutical R and D investment is located, and they typically are things like head office location—companies usually focus their R and D efforts in proximity to their head offices—scientific clusters, access to good patient data, genomic data.
At the end of the day, all the IP regimes pretty much resemble one another in their approach to pharmaceuticals because we all have to comply with our WTO minimal norms and standards in that area under the TRIPS agreement. I would discourage that whole line of thinking, that something you can do by adjusting patent protection in Canada is going to have a material impact on R and D, either positive or negative.
