If I could have a moment to add on to M.J.'s comments, getting back to this Canadian Foundation for Animal Assisted Support Services, they're prepared to create this umbrella over practitioners like me and the many others who are out there and who, like me, are in our own little corner of the area doing programming. If this organization can pull us together, you're going to see more consistency in the programming, and probably more effectiveness, because we're all working together using common practices and common goals. If this organization can do some of the footwork to put us under an umbrella, to give us a scope of practice, I think it's going to be grossly beneficial for a pilot project to become successful.
