We conduct the substance of our investigations in private. That is, we gather evidence and make decisions along the way if we have sufficient evidence to advance the particular case. Then, if we continue to advance it and we believe that there is a problem and that there's evidence to establish the problem, we can either take the case to court, or engage the party who's engaged in the alleged anti-competitive conduct and see if they want to resolve the issue. Our evidentiary findings would not come back here; we do that in private.
