I would not use hepatitis B and C as admissibility criteria at all. I would screen in Canada, and then what we do is we treat in Canada. So if somebody's a carrier of hepatitis B, we now have effective treatments. If they're not a carrier, if they're negative, then we can offer immunization, which, again, is a very effective way of making sure they don't become positive. Hepatitis C, again, there are treatments available in Canada that will prevent them from getting the other diseases you mentioned like hepatoma and cirrhosis—things that will make them become excessive burdens.
