It's a very interesting question. I think our expertise really lies in assessing the competition issues in that respect. IP is a relevant issue in competition circles, because you can exercise an IP right that might exclude certain people from a market. There are different considerations at play that really depend on each fact.
In terms of protecting workers in particular, obviously our position is that competition amongst employers helps employees. It helps them get higher wages, better wages and better working conditions. I will note that earlier this year an important new provision in the Competition Act came into effect, which basically criminalized wage-fixing and no-poach agreements between employers. That was certainly an important change to protect workers from any competitive conduct that could hurt their wages.
