Generally, the federal government does not take ownership of intellectual property. It may differ from one program to the next. I'll give you an example under the strategic aerospace and defence initiative. We do not take ownership. We require that the company maintain the ownership, that they protect the intellectual property, such that they are able to benefit from it and capitalize on it. There are no requirements that we own it. I think in years gone by we were in that business, but we got out of it. We let the companies perform their R and D and make sure they use the intellectual property toward commercialization.
