We do have encounters with fellow regulators. We are trying to understand how to make this work. To be fair, most of the people I've met involved in this kind of legislation or a health ministry in another area are trying to make it work. I've seen a lot of smart people in the room--a lot of them medically trained, and so on--but it's complicated to take patents and put them together with drugs. To make sure our discussions become productive, I've certainly been in many encounters where we've tried to get down into that. I'm sure there is will. As I mentioned, my minister has been talking to colleagues. So there's an attempt to try to find that, but not as a broad, systemic study.
